Crazy scary Bob! Did she fly over the fence?We've had a Breach!
I've been sitting outside with the ladies for over an hour now. I was reading a book and all was peaceful, until my neighborneighbor starts knocking on the gate and waiving his hand over the fence. I head over and he says, "I think one of your chickens is in the front yard". I'm like that's crazy. That's never happened before.
I was just hand feeding Hattie, Sydney, and Sansa. Who could it be? I heard nothing, saw nothing, some rooster I am.
My heart immediately sank.
If that's Aurora, this could get ugly. I'm not allowed to touch her! I'll never catch her.
Lilly will squat for me. That could be ok.
My gosh I wonder who it is?
It was Phyllis!

She was all the way out in the street by my daughters old car. Only her little head poking up over the curb.
Wait, she was in the street!
I was so glad it was Phyllis for one good reason. Phyllis reliably comes when I call her name.
It turned out to be an impressive exhibition. I stopped about 1/2 way down the side yard and called her. She popped up in the yard and came running. My neighbor could not believe it. He was stunned. He had no idea they were so smart!
She ran over to me and we walked together back through the gate.
Heart attack averted.
Now I need to figure out how she breached the outer wall.That is a problem for another day.
Everyone is safe now. At least as safe as they can be with an inattentive rooster like me.
Of course I never thought to grab my phone to get photos or video.
