OMG!! They EXCAPED

[SteveBaz]

I ran out of the house for a walk while the 3 new girls were running around in the side yard 8 x 30 fun for them dirt, grass, bugs, and whatever but they are entertained for sure. When I got back I freaked out

they were GONE..... I first checked out the dog and looked to see feathers or something. Nope he was clean. Well, they got out under the fence!

the adjoining neighbor had them in a box. I plugged the holes in the fence with rock now impossible. If there is a will there is a way, but holy smokes they are fast and sneaky. I know Blackie had something to do with it

LOL LESSON HERE Steve... never turn your back or leave without putting them up in the coop.

BAZ...

Thanks for the reply but I do have underground wire in the coop. I left them out without putting them back in. I completely forgot them. Not in my new with chickens conscience yet

I don't know, seems this young batch I have now are all a bunch of delinquents. Except the leghorns and OEGBs. They are never in trouble.

we have a houdinie too... if there's one to try and fly out the door and escape it's her. So glad you're neigbor caught them for you. I would have completely freaked too... I think I do head count at least 4 times a day (down from at least 10 x's). At least they'll let you know where your security weaknesses are.
