When I was younger, we got a couple of those birds because they also eat ticks. We kept them in the coop for a couple months so when they got a bit older and we let them out, they would presumably know to go back there at night. When the magical day arrived, we opened the gate and they came out. They did about 3 laps around the house, then went into the fields and kept going.

Never saw them again, but we heard they made a new home in a barn a few miles away.

bummer about the wanderers. We brooded them with the peeps (chickens) and let them all out together - making sure that there's food on the ground (or in a feeder) near the door to the coop - along with their water. The hens are mostly bigger than the *gooney* birds but the goonies guard them anyway.
Some go back in the coop (not many) at night.. the rest roost in the trees and they NEVER shut up.. good watch birds.. a leaf turns over that they were not expecting.. squawk!

I recall they taste like poo and the birds don't touch 'em. Purpose? Do people serve any purpose?

Soylent Green?
