Granny's gone and done it again

I am behind help with staying caught up lately it seems :/

One of my marans pulled a Houdini. Went to tuck them in after I cleaned the peep pen and made dinner (by that time after dark). Do a head count. Seven. Crap. Count again. Six on the roosting bar and nugget on the “steps”. Who are we missing? A rock or maran. (Lighting is iffy and I have no flashlight). Look in the nesting boxes, do we have a broody? Nope! No Broodies here! Cuss inwardly, fear for the worst and run up to the house to beg hubs to help me look. He goes, fetches his flashlight from the truck heads towards the coop and finds her. On a wood pile near my “compost bin” - obviously outside the coop and run! No idea how she got out (unless she got really athletic and hopped a four foot fence which okay some chickens can but my fat ol girls....no way. So I may have to put out another waterer in case of escaping again. Whee. Either way she got tucked in safe.

Bedtime for me, hubs’ birthday is tomorrow. I snuck his card into his work truck already ;)

Night y’all. Camping how’s the new bitties? Or...uh...not so bitties but still bitties?
