We were held up getting home one night and after a long journey home I was rather desperate and headed off to the outdoor toilet as soon as we pulled up. Well I nearly wet myself on the spot because peering out at me was a very bedraggled chook! She'd obviously gotten confused by not being herded in to bed that night and tried roosting somewhere else and fallen in. I didn't stop to take a photo but it would have been priceless.
I grabbed a towel and extracted her and took her inside for the night. I've now made a point of keeping that door firmly shut and leaving the roost door open if we go out in the afternoon.
