Sausage Frightened Me!

This morning when I let the chickens out I sat in the garden admiring them all. It was a lovely morning and I really enjoy sitting amongst them all :D About 8am I thought I'd better go in and supervise the mob getting ready for school. Twenty minutes later and I was in the bathroom when I heard a strange noise from outside. It was a sort of dull thud followed by screeching. I flew down the stairs and into the garden and quickly realised that Sausage, my 8 week old Salmon Faverolle was missing. Just twenty minutes earlier she'd been happily free ranging in her bit of the garden with the other growers. They were all there and none seemed alarmed. If something had come into the garden to take Sausage then I would've expected some of the others to be on edge but "Ooops, word censored!"ody had a care in the world.

 

I couldn't find her anywhere, I was in floods of tears, the kids were late leaving for school because they were searching for her too. When they'd gone I sat down in the growers enclosure hoping that if I was quiet I'd hear her. Then a plastic tub that was about two feet away moved a little. I could just make out the image of Sausage inside it! My girl was safe and well and trapped underneath her water bowl :lol::lol::lol: I have several containers for water dotted all over the garden, many are empty ice cream tubs or plastic boxes. Idiot Sausage had obviously perched on the edge of one, it had flipped over and trapped her underneath, and that's what the thud was :roll:

 

She was a bit soggy but obviously pleased to see me. We had a very emotional reunion :clap:
