This silly chicken stayed on the cage the entire hour trip.
Went on a rescue mission and ended up on a mini farm!
A good friend of mine contacted me yesterday to ask for my help. A lady she knows is moving out of the country, and fully intended on leaving 9 chickens penned up and letting them starve to death. After telling the lady that she was going to come get the chickens and showing up there the lady said she might keep one hen and the rooster, that way they could die together. A. You can't make this stuff up and B. What in the entire fuck is wrong with people?
My friend thankfully ended up taking all 9 chickens and within an hour I was able to secure a new owner for them. She came and got me today with chickens in tow and we went on an adventure. I caught some chickens, that was super neat, I've lived in the country for 2 decades and had never caught a chicken before!
This is the smallest rooster I have ever seen before, he was a spaz, so we let the new owner fetch him out of the truck.
We ended up on a mini farm!!!
Jeremy, the guy who took the chickens in has a mini farm. I was in animal heaven. Chickens, ducks,pigs, goats and sheep. So with permission I went and visit them all and took pictures! The chickens now will be free to roam, fed and cared for, which makes my heart super happy. My friend is an amazing human and I am glad I could assist.
I am becoming rather fond of ducks, and there were so many different kinds.
I estimate that he easily had 50 chickens and ducks, and so many different varieties. It was super cold, but we stood outside for 30 minutes admiring all the animals and his huge property.
I wish I could remember what this guy is called, he is super cool, the owner said he is the king of the yard, he is majestic!
These pigs came right up and let me pet them....until they realized I didn't have food, then they scattered away.
🐑 The goats and the sheep didn't come to greet me.
I had to admire them from afar. They had no desire to come and visit with the lady who was standing at the fence of their sizable pasture. I took a few photos of them anyways.
The reason for the mission absolutely sucked, but at least the destination was cool.
It frightens me that the woman who was ready to leave the chickens penned up fully knowing what the result would be is raising children. You have to be a special kind of rotten to do something like that. I do gain comfort from the fact that most people would never do that, and that the chickens can now keep peckin away.
