Sep. 7, 2008 - funny chickens
So I was feeding the chickens friday morning and one flew out of the run.......
This one particular chicken thinks she belongs with us and thinks she's a yard chicken, not a run chicken. So I didn't bother to chase her around because when she first gets out she has no interest in being caught. pet, carried and fed by the kids is fine but as soon as an adult approaches her she is very careful to stay just out of reach. The reason she is like this is because we had her out for a few days when the other hens pecked her comb off.
Anyway, so she flaps out in a huge loud dramatic escape and all the other chickens are impressed and worried. So I just left her 'cause it would just end up in a frustrating game of tag if I tried to catch her at this point. But I had to go in, make breakfast, get started for the day etc.
about 3 hours later I remembered the chicken was out when I heard a very loud "BA TOCK, BA TOCK, TOCK!!!!" so I run out to find out what's going on and she's way over in the vacant lot with a cat crouching a metre away! so I climbed over the fence and she came running over to me and couldn't wait to get picked up!
Who says chickens are dumb?
