The Great Backyard Chicken Adventure, part 10

Home | Gardening | The Great Backyard Chicken Adventure, part 10

They got out! One Saturday after I fed them in the morning I forgot to lock the door to the run and went off to run errands. I came back, took a nap, and while I made their dinner thought to myself ’Hmm, the girls are quiet.’

I came out the back door with dinner and the ‘scratch cup’ to find them standing in the veggie bed. They looked up as if to say “You’re here!” I replied “and so are you!” They came toward me expectantly and I shook the scratch cup. “Come on ladies, time for dinner” I said as I went to the run. They quickly followed me, hopping over the step into the pen. Dodged a bullet that time, never again. I have to secure this yard.
