Chicken Run!

Just wanted to warn everyone that one of the chickens escaped the run twice this morning! The culprit was one of the new ones -- black with white spots. Charlie has dubbed her Flash because of her speed. The first time, she slipped through a hole behind storage bin. The second time, she jumped up onto the storage bin and then flapped herself over the fence. I don't even want to think about how silly we looked: Six people running around desperately trying to catch one scrawny chicken and failing miserably! We finally herded her into the coop and shut the door with a collective cheer. Having seen Flash's success, I feel certain the others will attempt a similar escape. Not sure what we should do about it, short of making the back fence taller. For now, please pay attention while you are there with them in the run. Flash was very very hard to catch. It would be awful to be there alone trying to catch her -- we were lucky we had a small group. In other news, still no eggs. Will update later tonight. -- Amy
