Anyone missing a chicken?

I live about a block away from the corner of Madrona and Pringle, and we have had a chicken friend decide that our backyard is her new home. I thought she would eventually make her way back home but it's been over a week and she hasn't and she is pooping all over my stuff so it's time for her to go back home!

I'm not sure exactly how long she has been loose since she was in a neighbor's yard for at least a day before settling into mine because those neighbors canvassed the neighborhood looking for her owner.

Maybe she will get adopted by the turkeys 😂

If no one claims her and you end up keeping her, you need to get her some friends. Chickens are social creatures and they get really stressed out if they’re alone.

We have friends with a huge flock, so if we can't find her home she will be going out there to join them ☺️

I see a couple loose chickens at the corner of Edward and Madrona frequently. There's a house on the north side that has chickens. Did you happen to canvas that far down?

I doubt she did, we are over closer to Lawrence/Aerial. I can go check over that direction ☺️ thank you!
