Perplexing Question for Chicken Owners (Need an Opinion)

[Henrietta23]

I'm picturing a chicken commune a la Chicken Run! That would be pretty cool. I hear my rooster at 3 am, 3pm, noon, 6pm, 5:17 am. He has a lot to say I guess.......

Depending on the distance from your coop and run area, its more possible that you have a hen or two that go for daily jaunts on their own.

I have RIRs that no fence short of a ten foot brick wall can keep contained

 

[Bubblingbrooks]

It is possible, but NOT probable. Sorry Buffy

What makes you think it couldnt be?

(not trying to be a butt, I sincerely want to know the flaws you see with it)

Anything domesticated is easy prey in the wild.

We are talking a BIG distance. I will pull google maps and get the distance

I let 4 chickens out of my hen house a couple of years back because they were bullies with bad habits and I didn't have the heart to kill them at the time...those crazy hens stuck around for months with absolutely no help from me, food or shelter....and they were the healthiest looking hens I ever had after getting them off the pellets
So yes it is very possible...

Thats true its not very likely but I still say it may be.....

We are talking a BIG distance. I will pull google maps up and try and get a pic to post.

Uh...not a good idea, my young friend.

Buffy, it's just not probable that they survived this last winter. They are domesticated animals, not wild birds hun. I don't want to burst your bubble by any means, but I also don't want you to get your hopes up TOO high I really rather hope you are correct, it'd be great. Just being cautious I guess.
