the other day we came home from the White Lightning festival and found one of the chickens on the outside of the chicken coop trying to find out how to get back in! the fence was bent down in the spot where she flew over. a couple of days later I was standing on the outside talking to a friend and that same chicken flew right over the fence.
it was definitely time to take action. the challenge was getting the rain to stop long enough to do it. where were finally able to put some fruit netting across the top of the coop. the best part of that is now we don't have to open and shut the chicken run door. but that's half the fun in having chickens is going down the say hello to them in the morning. I think I'll still stop in and see them on my way to work everyday. one of the chickens likes to let us pet her! she'll stand there and kind of push for wings back and just let you Pet her it's so cute. I think I'll try picking her up today if it's dry enough I don't want mud all over me from the rain.
I have attached a video of the chickens checking out their renovated digs after putting up the netting. They are so funny!
