It's quite popular for people to have chickens in their back yard in New Zealand. Friends of ours have 6 and get lots of eggs. At the Russley golf club where Brad is a member, there are over 30 chickens and 2 roosters. Well, there were- until 2 German Shepherds got into the course. The chickens had formed two groups- each with about 15 chickens and one rooster. One of the groups was almost wiped out completely by the dogs- only the rooster remained (but his tail had been bitten off). A couple days after the incident, the rooster was seen walking into one of the water hazards (which they normally stay away from). He then put his head under the water until he was no longer breathing, and passed away. Poor guy!
HA!!!!---That is the funniest story Cath!!!!!Those Males---can't live with them and can't live without them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo you're trying to save the chickens?!?!
ReplyDeleteWell- no, we can't take the chickens from the golf club. The chickens in the picture were purchased from a farm.
