On New Year's Day at 6am I awoke to a LOUD bwok bwok bwoking outside my window. I'd fogotten to shut the coop the night before and my Easter Egger had flown her coop for some early morning free-ranging and encountered a cat. I sent the dog out to chase off the cat, then struggled to catch the chicken when my dog went after her for bonus points. That's life with my Easter Egger. Annoying, and hilarious. She has the most personality of all my chickens. All the children in the neighborhood love her best. And she's nice and calm about being picked up so small children can pet her. When she sees my dog she comes running and flies into my arms. Or at least she would if she were more coodinated. I usually end up with a face full of feathers. She always comes running when I come outside and jabbers at me. For all the excitement, I still love this bird.
