2 weeks ago, I went out to get the mail when I heard soft clucking from my side yard. I went to investigate and there stood a pair of Wyandottes in the shade of my privet. Well, hello.
A while later when I had to go to the car they were still in the side yard but came to tell me their stories. I put them in the back yard with my ducks so they wouldn't wander into the street. I've posted them on Nextdoor, FB, and C'list as well I've checked a few houses in each direction. No one claimed them.
Two days ago, one of them succomed to the relentless 100⁰+ heat despite constant fresh water and all the shade I could provide. There's been no eggs and no attempts at crowing so while I'm not sure of their age, I am sure they're not quite adolescent. The one that's left is super sweet and misses his/her buddy tremendously. If it's a girl, I've found someone with Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds around the same age that will sell me a couple (city ordinance says 3) if the little fella is a boy, I'll find him a home in the country.
His face says boy to me but her saddle is telling my girl. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
