Just look at him so innocent
"Don't mind me I am just resting"
"La, la, la doing nothing."
Like a child who has done something and saying "What? You looking at me?"
Meanwhile:
What do I see? Well, it's the chicken retirement home crew. Yes they no longer lay any eggs to amount to anything and Motley I have had for years a very good but older rooster. I put the older crowd in a different part of the pen to roam more freely and eat, eat, eat. They get a hole dug for them in the pen and away they run! Freedom! :)
"What? Are you looking for us?"
"Can't you see we are just minding our own business?"
"Is she still there?"
"Yes, she is!"
This was a fun day. I just left them out and let them roam and hoped that a predator wouldn't find them. I left the hole open and for a few days they got out and roamed the nearby woods. It ended as quickly as it began. I guess they found out the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Casper does like to dig that may become a little problem otherwise he is a pretty good dog, and they are pretty good pet chickens.
Have a great week Y'all!

Even the best chickens must flee the coop once in a while! Great post Dolly!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb,

Hi Marissa,
DeleteOh Thank you. You pegged him right sometimes too full of energy. They are a mess and hard to keep track of..Hope you have a great week.
A Chicken Retirement Home...love it:) They sure look like they're having great fun too!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing too. I thought I would separate them from the others give them freedom but they still wanted to escape for a short while anyway. They did have fun scratched in the woods like crazy. Now I can't throw them out of the pen...ha..
DeleteAwww, too funny! It looks like they enjoyed their adventure, no matter how short lived it was :) Casper is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yep I think they had the best time and sometimes we just have to throw our hands up and let them go..
DeleteLol :) What fun it is to escape and cause a ruckus! Thanks for sharing the photos!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
DeleteThank you for stopping by to visit. Yes they had a little too much fun...I now need a load of dirt Casper does love to dig..lol
I wonder how much they paid him to dig that hole! If you notice any chicken feed missing . . .
ReplyDeleteHey Kathy!
DeleteI'm laughing and I wonder too. Cute comment!
Oh no, Dolly! lolol! Too funny! I loved the chickens saying, "Is she still there....?" lolol! We used to have a dog that loved to dig, too. We ended up pouring a cement pad for the floor of the kennel. Problem solved! :)
