Howdy neighbours. Over the last week or so I have seen a couple off chickens in the gravel kinda parking area by the bridge on Poyntzs Road near Sth Eyre Road.
I was wondering if anyone knows whether they belong to someone, or been dumped there? They are grey in color. I'll add a couple of pics one of the location on Google maps, and one of the chooks I took this afternoon.
If no one nearby owns them, my neighbour can give them a new home.
Please reply if you live near this river and they are, or are not yours, or anyone else who knows whether they belong to anyone?

Sorry photo of birds is crap, taken on my cheap phone in bad light lighting

What do you think of the new names? Want to move onto Pallid Green? Or raise the kids in a little house on Squawk St?
