Just call me the chicken whisperer I guess. Came home a couple days ago and she was hanging out under the bird feeder eating the seed the wild birds had spilled. First thing she did when I drove up was fly up to my roof and sit on the gutters and I am trying to get her tamed down by making sure she knows where the food comes from.
Not sure if she is just a stray that has been on her own for a while or born feral over the summer, but I for sure have much tamer wild birds hanging out. Not sure what kind of chicken it is even, she is all-black, short tail, very tall and lean. Oh yeah and she flys like a champ for such a large chicken.
Anyway, I am really hoping to get her to hang out because she obviously has what it takes to survive at least for a while without the need for a coop or cage and the fact that hand-raised chicks that grow up tame might as well have a dinner sign on them because they don't last long even in cages due to the skunks, raccoon, coyotes and hawks.
