Chickens living(?) by river on Poyntzs Road
Update: one chook has been caught, but the other one is proving elusive. If anyone can help by lending a live capture trap, please get in touch (see my reply to this thread or txt 020 406 41485)
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

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
