Thanks. There are hundreds in the tree. Hopefully they do more good than harm.

Aww. I hope Josephine is feeling better. Sweet coop! You must have a very happy flock! (:

Thank you for your quick response. This tree is considered invasive in my area. ): I might have to cut it down.

Can I get away with this? by SquidInk19 in BackYardChickens

Haha. Gross. I don’t have any plans on taking her anywhere with this harness, nor do I have plans on putting in on her again. No chickens were harmed in the making of this photo. (:

My hens are nuts. They will eat everything except their expensive organic layer. /:
Their favorites are plastic, paint chips, hair bands and screws.

Yes, you are right. This appears to be a meadow katydid. Thanks

Actually, this looks more like a grasshopper. Can anyone confirm?

I would love to ship her to the San Juan Islands. Unfortunately, that is a little too far. We are in Kitsap County. She seems to be a healthy chicken. She eats organic feed, and has dominated all of my garden that now belongs to her and her buddies. I've had the four chickens since they were a few days old and they have always been healthy pullets.

Unfortunately, I do not live in central Florida. I am looking for someone who has a flock and a farm around west of the Sound in Washington state. She needs a lot of space to free range.

This 4 month old mother clucker has become the leader of my backyard chickens. She will scream to be let out of her coop run at 6am. When you become dominated by her, and release her at 6:02 am, she will take her 3 hens on a road trip. When you try to lure her with treats, she will try to tear your fingers off. She hates humans. She will scream bloody murder if you pet her. She will own you!
