And in her defense, it was miscommunication between hubby & I that caused it. We have three pullets & three Silkies that share a haphazard pen. I've been asking hubby to build a door for it, so it's easier to get in & out of as I'm starting to free range them now in the evenings. He clipped the wire & pushed up on the "roof", which I had sat a bowl of mashed boiled egg yolks on. I picked up the bowl, so he could lift up & went to set it on the ground for them, but my three vultures...uh, I mean pullets raced out of the pen & my Brown Leghorn took flight, landing on my back, left shoulder, & chest. She scratched me up pretty good & those three will peck your feet & hunt you down thinking you have food. I think they're gonna take some work!
Moral of this story...always have your hubby tell you when he actually plans on opening the pen, so you can make sure the food is out of your hand
