Earlier this summer one of our neighbors tried raising "free-range" poultry on their small property. Their flock included several ducks, chickens and a young turkey. At first the birds stayed close to the coop and in the owners yard, but then the birds discovered bird feeders in neighboring lawns and the size of the free-range expanded.
The birds also tried to answer the age old question, "why did the chicken cross the road". Their answer, to test a vehicle driver's reaction time and the stopping distance for moving vehicles. Over time the numbers birds decreased to one rooster which is now looking for companionship and a safe place to sleep at night. The rooster's new sleeping quarters is a hanging flower pot where it roosts every night.
