The small factory down the road from us has been hosting a loose rooster for the last few weeks. Started with three but, over time, two have become piles of scattered feathers and, as there was no shelter, no company and no protection, I thought perhaps I might do something about it, if I could, as no one else seemed the least bit bothered.
Lured him to the fence with food (hungry hungry chicken was easy to lure
) and, as he grabbed the food, I grabbed him and lifted him over the railings.
He is now in a temporary pen on the lottie until tomorrow when I get the henhouse finished.
I was told he probably came from (and belongs) to the junkyard across from the factory. Should I let them know where he is or just keep him?
They didn't seem bothered at his peril.
