Mine just know they have time to find that one more bug.... Some days I can't wait for them to go in on their own and they can't understand why I'm putting them to bed before that last ray of sunshine is over.

I had my cane with me and was using it that way but this hen was ignoring it. GC had Ryder on leash and the hen could see him and just was not about to go through the gate, I think she thought the dog was too close to the gate. I was about to holler to GC to back off a bit when Sammy lunged at the hen, and BLOOOP! In she went!

Nope, the branches are too high. This is a VERY old tree. It was old in the 60's when DH's parents bought the property. Or at least it was here then, so it is well over 65 years old now.

I love old trees.

Those big hens don't run from anything. Not even the John Deere when I'm mowing. They always have the right a way.

Mine put themselves to bed in the coop at bedtime, but at this particular time they were still in the run. But this hen had escaped. I had to get her back in the run. But you know how chickens are, they can fly over the fence to get out, but it's a one-way fence! They can't fly BACK over the fence to get back in!
