Sally and Alex dropping in for a visit.....
« on: October 12, 2010, 05:42:06 PM »
So, I got this bird feeder up the other day because I really like the little finches we have and how their singing sounds in the morning when I wake up.
It also attracts house sparrows, mocking birds and mourning doves.
But this morning I had Sally and Alex in my yard, just hanging out with the other birds!

I said "Honey, I think we have a chicken in the yard." and she said "A chicken? Yeah right." probably thinking "What is this idiot up to now first thing in the morning" as she rolls over.....
I did leave the gate to the side yard open last night. I guess they just walked in off the street or something.....
Or maybe they were out for a night on the strip and got lost. Who knows?

Now, here is why this is funny. I live smack dab in the middle of Las Vegas, just South of Mc Carran airport in a little housing complex, not on a farm....
 ;D ;D

What kind of chicken are they btw? New Hampshire Reds? or Red Stars?

asked the resident Chicken Expert (my Dad) he's not sure what they are sorry Mike.
"You can teach monkeys to fly better than that!"and "spring chicken to sh**e hawk in one easy lesson"

Haa haa, what on EARTH are you doing with resident CHICKENS??   ::rofl::

That is some funny stuff!  They're definitely not strays -- someone nearby must have a Coop!!  They're in great shape.

And they're Rhode Island Reds -- not New Hampsters!!  Haa, the only thing New Hampshire is famous for is its lovely weather....   ::loony::

(Maybe you'll have fresh eggs now....)

 :D
Don't make me come back there!!!!

Hmmm.... I thought the Rhode Island Reds had a taller comb on top ....  ::thinking::
but they are still kinda young.

Turns out they were migratory birds and migrated 120 feet East from my neighbors yard. i didn't know he had chickens. he said he got them 4 weeks ago and the dog doesn't like 'em so he might have chased them into my yard where they found dog-free piece and tranquility, some shade, grass ....AND the food my little finches keep spilling from their little feeder....
I just had to laugh when I found those two underneath my feeder instead of the doves!  ;D

And boy, the finches were confused and upset about the new situation.  ::rofl::\

or maybe they knew about "Chicken Wings" and wanted to stop by....  ;)
