Hey, I'm fashionably late to the party once again!
Nicole, I sure hope you find the thieves who took your birds! Ya know, in the old west, they hung people for stealing horses and cattle. I think it's high time we brought back such practices and include chicken swiping in the list of hangable offenses! I hate thieves!
Let me tell y'all a little bit about Kathy's Floozy girl! Not only is she a consummate escape artist, but she's a darn good teacher of the art form as well!
She taught my Maggie and Cosette all they ever needed to know about escaping approved chicken areas and instigate their own appointed free range times!
I'm sure that while Maggie and Cosette were still with Kathy, they were respectable, well behaved little ladies. But just a few days in close proximity to Floozy and all of that went flying out the window!
I thank heavens that the rest of my girls are completely content to stay in their yard until
I decide it's safe to free range. So far, they haven't followed Maggie and Cosette's lead. Probably because they just ain't as smart as those two!
Though more than a few are starting to pay close attention each time Cosette slips through the field fencing!
I swear, I'm gonna tie a bowling ball to her leg! Let's see her drag
that through the fence line!
