Our Mixed Flock Journey!

Well, this girl was over on the neighbors property! The grass definitely isn't greener over there!
Not the best picture, but you get the idea!

What happened after she came back!

Hopefully this will keep her contained.

Is this the same girl that was escaping last year?

No, this is her sister. She was killed by dogs. 🙁 This one seems to be just as determined as her sister was.

I went out and she was on the other side again. The wing clipping didn't work. I blocked the spot where I think she's getting out, it's the same place as the picture. If she gets out again tomorrow, I'm going to lock them all in again, until I get back home. Then I'll see what I can figure out. I just don't have time right now. Too much to get done before we leave on Sunday.

Hope the blocking works out, that urge to see what's on the other side must run strong.
 
We've had such a busy weekend and accomplished so much. Daughter and sil came down to help us in the yard. We are so blessed.

Finally strung more fishing line and added reflective tape. I hope it keeps the Hawks out.

The girls were so excited to be back in their free range pen.

I used the little battery powered rototiller that my fil gave to us and worked up the soil in the enclosed pen.

I want to do this too but I am afraid that it’ll smell awful! Whenever I dig it stinks so bad🤢
 
What is this sorcery? Several of them ran out of the pen when I dumped these clippings... bunch of Ninny's...lol

What are those barred hens you have? I have a barred cuckoo Marans and have had some barred olive Eggers but they aren’t as vibrant as yours! I never thought they were very pretty but yours are very pretty!
