Free Ranging

13 Naughty Chickens roaming too far from the coop; Henny is the ringleader-she is a pioneer that needs to let her feet roam. Just why she started to lead the flock into a stand of pine trees along the road is unclear. If by chance they actually make it across the road, will I be forced to ask the age old question? Why....?
Jay is a sport and uses a large broom to shoo them out from under the pines and I holler and move the chickens down into the backyard-usually with our dog on a lease encouraging her to chase them too. After doing this three times in one morning- I enlisted Steven to wield the broom. He managed to get most into the aviary. The last few needed extra persuasion- which put me in a FOUL mood!
