Subdude Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Good guess. But not correct.Fighting BLUE HENS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWM8609 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I googled pics of those breeds you named and I think that's what I saw. The brownish red ones were probably Rhode Island Reds, and the white one sounds like a fancy breed, maybe a Cochin? (I have a degree in Animal Science from a state university with a chicken as a mascot, I should know my chicken breeds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsets Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 And here's a "real" Blue Hen. The university kept a flock on the research farm. Obviously, this is a rooster, but they're all called "hens". And to maybe get back on topic, not the kind of chicken you're likely to see in the Heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsets Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Black squirrel sighting today on the Norhill esplanade in Woodland Heights! (the Jack Russell terriers out for their morning constitutional were also very excited about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMME Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Sorry for the poor picture quality, but I had to stop headed eastbound on White Oak Drive this morning around 9am to let a couple of chickens (roosters?) cross the road southbound, headed for Jimmie's parking lot.Have chickens been wandering wild on White Oak Drive for years, and I've simply never noticed them before? [Edited to add topic description] Those would be free range chickens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb320 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 This is not Heights related, but it is about inner-city livestock. Friday, after the thunderstorms, there was a pig loose in Montrose. I'm not talking a pot belly. It was an adolescent wild hog or boar; the kind that are not allowed in the city. I figure that it was somebody's pet and the thunder scared it from wherever it was being kept. This sucker could haul-butt and was freaking out the dogs and their walkers. Long story short, an off-duty HPD officer cornered it and pounced on it and took it away to be released into the wild.OINK - SNORT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverJK Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 rsb320... I wonder if the officer was with internal affairs? i kid, i kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb320 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 rsb320... I wonder if the officer was with internal affairs? i kid, i kid.He was working an off-duty job for South Hampton security patrol. I asked how he was called and he told me "The guys know I like this sort of thing".I can hear it now on dispatch - Call officer _______, there's a pig loose in Montrose.

Vertigo58 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I guess if no one complains about the roosters waking them up then nothing will happen. Here come the deed restrictions question again. It's the poor fouls that end up dying when dogs get a hold of them. Maybe they can film a Chick Fil-fil-A commercial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanith27 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Last night I was on the back deck overlooking the neighbors yard and saw their cat and chicken playing a game of 'chase' with each other. They seemed very comfortable with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
