cluckbok Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 maybe the trellis needs to be even higher still How about to the height of the concrete pillar? Can you get leads for chickens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 is there a height restriction you can have trellis?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Very funny, but I've got a crick in my neck through repeatedly watching it sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Oh thanks for the great laugh - I have had an exhausting week trying to amuse various children and chickens in mostly pouring rain and really needed the laugh - thanks Maisie and family!

Seagazer Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 She really is determined to go over isn't she! I can't imagine what you will have to put up next to stop her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I don't know about making the gate higher ... maybe you should attach little lead weights to her ankles ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I don't know about making the gate higher ... maybe you should attach little lead weights to her ankles ... like little exercise weights?? seriously just got image of her in wristbands and a head band as well.. I worry about my imagination at times.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Wristbands ? Where's she going to put them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 we are talking about MY imagination, I didn't say it was 'do'able edited to add, I see them on the ends of her wings personally, an orange shade would be so her colour. and maybe one of those excercise balls for her to leap on to jet propell herself over..

Joanne Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Just caught this thread for the first time, absolutelly hillarious!! I have a called Maisie and she is an absolute terror too, her favourite trick is to climb the clothsline prop when I inadvertantly leave it over the net fencing, she climbs up and jumps over then has full range of the whole garden and flower beds! You gotta love em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGirl Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 that is great, she looks like a clever character what is it that is so tasty on the other side!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 that is great, she looks like a clever character what is it that is so tasty on the other side!! I was thinking just the same thing , is there a big bucket of meal worms just out of shot on the other side of the fence we can't see? Or is it just general chicken nosiness, and the grass is always greener . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Well, I know you're all expecting a lush, green paradise (or a big bucket of mealworms ) through that gate. What else could be more inviting than a garden with grass, flowerbeds, shrubs and trees and any number of worms and insects? This is the sorry truth . So, yes, it's just general chicken nosiness - they'll all head through the gate in a flash if I leave it open. They just love to help me keep all the stones on the driveway tidy .

mostin Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 aaaahhh yes, gravel, the unsung chickens paradise. may be it's their attempt at japanese gardening? The lines in the gravel may have messages of cosmic harmony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 That's like our chickens, we have about a 3 and 1/2 foot gate to their run and Spice likes to jump on it to escape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggquisite Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Brilliant, a star in the making I think... They look like real characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodinparts Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 wonderful, ANH Thank you so much.... Barbara (my bluebelle) is our escape artist - but what really makes me laugh is the way that, having got over the chicken wire and having the freedom of the garden, she then panics because she's not with her friends and runs up and down the fence bokking madly to them - but doesn't seem to be able to fly back the way she has come (despite not using anything other than wings & sheer determination to get there across in the first place). So then I have to go and open the gate and skuttles back to tell them all about the Big Wide World ....and we repeat the process an hour or so later Having said all that, in most respects she's probably the brightest of my girls. But I didn't choose them for their brains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
