Today I picked up three red hens (I believe they're rhode island reds, i forgot to ask the farmer). He get rid of them (off to the slaughter house) when their egg production slows down. Anyways, I partially built their coop in my garage so I could transport it to the dog pin I'm converting into a run. After lifting it over the fence I began enclosing it. Unfortunately I could not finish it as I had to go to a photo shoot (I'm a photographer), so i left it have enclosed. When I got back home, I figured I'd check on them. I opened up the nesting box and no eggs, but I only saw 2 chickens. I went and opened up the other end of the coop and still only saw 2 chickens. I started looking around the outside of the coop and found her in a back corner of the run. I quickly grabbed her and put her back in the coop. I had blocked the opening to the coop. I had left about 3.5 4 inches of space in the opening. I have no clue how she got out! Her name is now Hendini!!!!
