Oh that little Eowyn!!!! She just can't keep up with the other 2 chicks and Millie has had it with her so half the time she leaves her behind to stay with the other 2. Well today she got left in the run when she was supposed to get back into the coop. The other hens were all over her and she squeezed out of the fence to the run and into the neighbor's yard!!! Luckily, she was just through the fence and I was able to grab her but OMG chick you need to get bigger FAST!!! My heart can't handle it. LOL!!!

That little brat!!!

Just an IDEA. Could you place a board into position where I outlined in red pencil?? (I tried my best to draw ) so lil one can climb back into coop?. Or maybe just a brick or piece of wood to make a step,, ½ the height at a time. In no time,, she will be able to fly up... but maybe a week away or more.

Yes I have to put board then a brick so littles can get in. They just go under a ramp for the first few days and don't figure out to go up

Great idea! And I have a ton of bricks I just pulled off the tarp that will sit in the shed until next winter. Thanks!

My youngest is a handful and I frequently get the "did you hear what Gavin did????" and have to brace to find out if it was horrible or wonderful because there's no gray area with that one!! Anyway, I get a call from the police dept "Hi! This is Officer ___ from the Tinley Park Police Dept. Is this Gavin's mom?" Uhhhhhhhhhhh...maybe? Fortunately, that time he and a friend turned in a suspicious van at the bus stop and he was calling to follow up on it. Since I had no idea it even happened, it definitely stopped my heart for a split second there. LOL!!!

Sure did, he was pounding too. That alone scared the beegeebers out of me.
When I seen the uniform my first thought was, glad I wasn't processing a bird. Might have made it more interesting.
