5th January 2017 This morning I took down Henny Penny's brekkie and look what I found in the far corner of the yard!
We let her out late yesterday for a free range and while she was happy to pick and peck around the area, she made no attempt to go further afield. Come roosting time, she walked back into the yard and up into the roost all by her own choice.
Guess we've officially been adopted! Yay :D)
Hello!
A wandering chook adopted us after MD saved it from an impending dog attack. It spent the night on the drying rack on our verandah. That was 3 days ago and I'd mentioned it in my previous post.
Updating.... day two. Feral chookie kept hanging around our yard (to our delight), and come evening, look who I saw peeping through the window:
She then spent another day happily coming to and from our yard. The dog came back with a friend in the morning but our Red Wattlebirds raised the alarm .... I kid you not, they're so possessive of a certain Grevillea tree that they clack clack at anyone or anything that dares stand near it. So we saw the dogs off straight away.
Last night, sure enough, the now familiar rattle of a chair... we looked out and there was Henny Penny (oh gosh, we've even given her a name now!)
Please let me in, she seems to be saying!
I couldn't stand to see her being so uncomfortable and as she was allowing me to be so close to take pics with the phone camera I took a chance at going up to her.
She didn't seem to mind when I lifted her up, so off down to our empty chook shed (are still waiting for 6 chooks MD had ordered a while ago).
Here she is just a couple of minutes ago... enjoying brekkie:
We'll let her get used to the night perch and then she can wander at her will during the day when we're home to keep an eye on her.
She'll decide whether she wants to go back to her home, or someone may come a'knocking for her, but at least she's safe.
Cheerio for now and thanks, as always, for taking the time to visit :D)
