Naked Neck on the Loose

The weather has been so beautiful the last few mornings that all the animals on the farm have been very active and happy. At the farm we have chickens, quails, goats, cats, dogs and two horses and almost all the animals live in stalls, enclosures or cages except for the cats. There are also three chickens that get to roam the farm freely because they did not do well being with the other chickens. The chickens that roam free on the farm always stay on the property and are very well behaved never bothering any workers, volunteers or visitors. Recently I noticed that a Naked Neck Turken was being picked on by the other Naked Necks in his enclosure and I knew I would have to move him somewhere else but that would not easy because he is a rooster. After trying for over thirty minutes I could not find any place he would be accepted so I put him in the quail area which is enclosed and has a gate for the day. The next morning when I arrived at the farm the Naked Neck Turken was no longer in the quail area and was no where to be found. I went ahead and started my work for the day and as soon as the sun started to come up I saw the Naked Neck Turken come from around the back of the main chicken enclosures he had made it through his first night. It has been a few days now and Homer has been roaming freely on the farm and I am happy to say he is fitting in well with the three other free roaming chickens and is also very well behaved. Well I will be back in the morning so check back soon to see how all the animals and the City Boy on the Farm are doing.
