There’s a chicken in my back garden. I don’t know where it has come from, who owns it or how it got in as the garden is surrounded by high fences. It is a very friendly chicken – it walked over to The Bloke quite happily – I’m a bit concerned though as I know that there are lots of cats around. I’ve called it Derek.
I’m going to go and speak to the neighbours and see if Derek belongs to them…
Poor Derek!

I’ve heard it’s clucky to have a hen in your garden
Groan…
Sorry, that was a poultry offering
Been reading Bruce Forsythe’s joke book?
Oh no, LOL, I could do this all day, but wouldn’t want to fall fowl of your temper. Then again, if you keep egging me on!
Is Derek a rooster or a hen? If a hen, then the yolks on her. Pretty lame, I know, but I couldn’t resist after the above dialogue.
That sorts Christmas dinner, then…
You flew it in just for the comments?
Funny! Looks like your cat is thinking chicken dinner! Some chickens can fly. My California Whites would fly out if I left the gate closed because we were going to be gone, or a coyote was hanging around. If you like fresh eggs, and can’t find the owner, keep it. You don’t need a rooster to get eggs. Just to fertilize them.
Reminds me of a hen I used to own in my backyard. I wonder if I can find that pic…
mmmmmmmmmmm Yummy chicken and chips 🙂
Yum, Yum. All I see out my window is small songbirds. Sizi
Aw, cute!! I love how your kitty is interested in him. =)
Have you ever seen “Orange is the new black” on Netflix? There’s a funny episode where she sees a chicken and everyone goes nuts because they’re in a prison. lol.
I hope he gets home safe! =)
Nice! and Derek is a lovely name! A while back, we had grown these wildflowers on the side of our house, and they attracted a resident bunny. As long as the flowers remained, the bunny was there during the spring. We never named it, though.
It just looked like a Derek… It’s real name turned out to be Amy, so I’ve given it issues now…
I’ve done things like that before; just went ahead and named something. My sister used to do it with stray cats that would come to our house a lot. I remember Kimby specifically, and there was also a Mr. Kitty Bones… but I don’t remember any of the other ones.
I always think things should have a name, however silly!
I named my first laptop Jerry. He just seemed like a Jerry. I also named a rental car Nikkita, but I called her Nikki for short.
So what happened to derek in the end? I’m really curious now. Personally I would keep him if he didn’t have a owner….if he decided to stay that is.
By the way the cat is looking at Derek, I think he is in trouble.
haha! yes, thank goodness for the window…
My, what a friendly (DELICIOUS!!!) little fellow…. Let me know if you need help managing him…. I’m here fur you!

My kitties thought so too!
Oh I’ll bet they’d love to help!

Derek is a lady chicken!
I gathered, but it looked like a Derek… Turns out it was actually called Amy…
