Well, I found the missing chook this morning!

Opened my car door to go to work and the smell that I was hit with was overwhelming :yuck:

I called out to my wife "I think I know where that hen was hiding" :shock2:

I was working on my car on friday and had the doors open, the chook must have jumped in for a look and I've closed the door behind it! :scared2:
Three days that poor chook was in there! :sad2:

Nah, no eggs ha ha, I dont think I would have gone near it if there was.

I survived the drive with a lot of Air Freshener and a lot of gagging!

poor bloody chook :(
We had a similar situation here last week, Jaymie collects bugs and freshwater shrimp on tuesdays as part of her work. last tuesday they only caught a couple and they were left in the back of the car in a little plastic box , with some water, until I removed them on Sundat arfternoon, 3 of them were still happily swimming around in the waterand I assume that they had eaten the corpes of the others because I couldn't see any bodies in the bpttom of the cage. Maybe next time dave, stick the chook in a bucket of water :)

Had a shocking shocking few day with Poultry :sad2:

Lost my only 2 Indian Runners and 2 chooks, both to one of my dogs! :bash:

So I've lost 14 Birds in the last 8 months and now I'm left with 1 chook! :scared2: I dont think im cut out for farming poultry :cry:

5 to a snake
6 to my Dog Jack
1 Killed by another duck (sex/fence incident!)
1 I killed for meat
1 Trapped in my car

Please dont report me to the RSPCA........ :sad2:
