She was even moltier (that's a word now) in person if you got a look all over. Rescue lady was worried about her ability to deal with the cold tonight. She's apparently relatively young, too. Lots of very friendly burbling. I really wanted to cuddle her but waited until more people were around before attempting contact -- didn't want to scare her so she'd run away. There was a minor freakout when she was picked up but she settled quickly in the carrier (where there was food, haha.) I have been promised an update on her name if/when she joins as a full member of the woman's flock!

Yay! I’m glad she’s safe! Commendations to you, effervescible, for saving her. Last weekend I saw a flock (gang?) of roosters foraging on the side of the road while traveling through South Carolina. I assume that they were dumped there

Your lifetime chicken survival rate is incredible if you stop now you'll have us all beat forever. We finally accidentally locked one of our girls our of the coop/run overnight. Fortunately she was fine and we got her in before she blew away today in these winds half the US is getting.

glad she was ok! that is my constant fear, especially since my favorite hen, Lil' Pep, had started wandering out in the middle of the yard at dusk, instead of going to bed since there are just seven of them, i do a head count every night to make sure everyone is in before i lock up

Marzipan flew the coop today and is now one with the neighbor's thicket of extremely tangled and impassable wild grape vines and bushes. If he chooses to come home, he will be welcomed back with open arms and wings. I hope he survives a beautiful wild quail life! I did try bringing one of the girls over to call for him but she was just mad about being held. I tried to get him, myself, but he just went deeper and deeper into the mess. At this point I need either a machete or to become a snake.

He cannot deny his quail instincts to leap into danger I hope he returns safely after an adventure

I hope for the best! Looked around for him more last night and today and he seems to have gone off to find whatever fate has in store. The other possible rooster will be pleased.

back in broody jail the other chickens have been picking at her feathers, so i think between that feather loss, and the broody feather loss, she is going to need to stay inside for awhile to recover. we are ordering a chicken diaper...

 My German shepherd had knocked over the trash and chewed plastic and garbage to pieces. I was out picking up little shreds so the chickens could free-range outside their run and my daughter decided to just go ahead and let them out. I was scrambling to pick up little garbage bits before they could find or eat any of them. In that pic of Margaret you can see she is pissed at me because I just stopped her from getting a green shred of plastic that looked somewhat like a vegetable.
