Decades back I rescued a battery chook from the middle of the Control Gates bridge in Taupo and she came home as a pet until I found an egg in our bed! Then she went down to the barn with the flock of birds we had for egg production and ruled the roost there. She was the one who taught me how to pick up a bird and carry it so it stayed calm and happy. Nice to know I haven't lost the touch...
