Yes, it's a chicken. And apparently it loves our yard. She showed up one day last week and hasn't left. Of course, that tends to happen when you feed a stray. :) But how can you not feed this cute little lady especially since she's kind enough to leave us an egg or two now and then.
The first couple of days she kept pecking on our front screen and was driving the cats bonkers. Now she just kind of roosts in the bush in our front yard and doesn't come out much. Methinks she's lonely. We contemplated building a coop and keeping her but that would make her a "pet" and well, I'm not sure we're chicken type people. So I'm on the hunt for a new home for her unless she decides to leave us first.
So whatever happened to the chicken? Haven't heard any news in awhile...
ReplyDeleteDang, I wish I would get a notification when comments are left....
ReplyDeleteSad ending actually. A friend of mines niece was going to take it (she's in 4H) but they had to wait until they found a coop for it. Unfortunately, a dog got to her today. :( I feel bad for the boy walking the dog, I'm pretty sure it traumatized him a bit. So Pookie has moved onward and upwards.
