Omlet cube and run

[Mollie333]

Hi everyone!

In mid July i got a call from one of my sisters friends, he had a random chicken roaming his garden!

Is a fairly built up urban area, so no one keeps chickens. Never mind breeds them!

 

So i walked down to his house which isn't too far, about a 20 minute walk, so there i was walking with a cardboard box down the street. I got to the house, knocked on the door and went through to the garden.

 

There was a small, skinny, mucky young bird lurking in the bushes. At first i thought how on earth am i going to catch that , but i brought a handful of corn in case, and threw it down, i crouched down and he came running up! By this point we had no idea weather it was a boy or a girl.

 

He was very tame. I caught him and put him in the box with corn and took him home and put him in the cat carrier (took me ages to find, and was in a rush so just grabbed the box!) with food and water. He was so hungry.

I put up posters and told everyone on face book, they must of thought i was mad! But no one has got back to me.

 

Not got a very good picture of when i first got him.

So here he is now! Any ideas of breeds? Definitely a mix. Pictures go in order.

(I had to cut some of his tail feathers off here, covered in poo. )

 

 

 

I'm very proud.

Edit: The little girls that help me with them have called him 'Lucky'

Can't help with the breed but wanted to say that he's a beauty!! Well done for rescuing him, sounds like you got there in the nick of time.

Can't help with the breed either sorry, just wanted to say well done for rescuing your chicken-of-fate He's very handsome

 

P.S. Nice name choice I've got a hen called Lucky

The little girls that live near me come and see him everyday, bringing him maggots from the fishing shop.

They named him Lucky.

Coming on great Does he crow?

[Snowy]

Lovely!

He's very leggy Is it Croad Langshans that are leggy? Or maybe modern game?

[Mollie333]

I was thinking some sort of game.. He is going to have a permanent home here.

I'm led to believe that yes he did get abandoned.. Don't know where he came from though! I've actually been looking in the Ad-Mag anyone selling chickens around the area where we found him, like, in case he was a pet. But i think he has been hatched then abandoned.
