[BY Bob]

The panic took hold.

Here they are this morning just before they ran off to join the circus.

Mary is pretending that Peggy's tail is her tail.

I love Peggy hiding behind Mary. That's great!

Good evening folks

MJ I'm so happy they are home safe and sound

Good evening MJ and everyone

MJ Thank goodness you found them safe and sound

It was a scary hour.

Hopefully the new run will see some progress today.

She's much smaller, so you can only just make her out back there

Me too. Life is difficult enough without that.

You can't have one without the other.

You can't have one without the other.

True but if all your focus goes on the negative it's seriously bad for your health. Some people are just plain misery guts all the time & that's not fun.

The car port has become very popular recently. I'm in there most days and usually the chickens stay under a bush a couple of metres away.
Now here's a thing. I don't have any paving or pation type stuff outside my house, except for a bit of concrete just outside the door. The chickens are outside my house a lot and they poop just as much there as they do everywhere else. The patios and the paved/concrete areas are; well, a bit messy. However, the natural ground outside my house seems to be cleaned by little grass fairies.
What we need to encourage for those who find poop on their patios distressing is patio fairies it seems. Either that or dont lay patios or concrete if you've got chickens. I think the second option stands the best chance of success.
Anyway, Hurry thinks there is sommeting behind that door!

Tap is worried that she may be taken to the vet on this contraption.

Fat bird is showing her military training; don't stand when you can sit and don't sit when you can lie down.

I did a little reading on the brain a few years back and emotional habits are very hard to change because it's sensible to look at external factors (eg of course I was worried when i couldn't find the hens). But I was trapped in a habit of negativity for a long time (learned from parents) and at last saw it was in my power to change, so I made the commitment and now everything is easier, except listening to others complain about little things or being careless.
