Mrs

[auntielizzie]

I thought I had got the better of her, but no I was wrong She kept escaping over the Omlet netting by jumping up on to the next box (which sticks out from the chicken house), then jumping onto the roof and flying across the netting into the garden. All very well, but the garden is not chicken-proof and I have already had to retrieve her from next door's garden once this week. So, got the scissors out and clipped a wing. Betty not happy with this, but we managed. Within ten minutes she tried to jump on to the nest box - ha ha, she couldn't do it I thought I had won the battle ..... until this morning. I'm getting along with the housework indoors, happened to look out of the window and guess what - Betty is on the lawn, peckily happily away! The battle continues Bessie at least is quite happy in the netted off area (I think she's too heavy to fly).

It is obviously a case of the grass being greener over the other side of the fence

Well done for clipping the wings ,after having my girls for 5 months I have still got to pluck up the courage..It matters not how many vidios I have seen .They were clipped when we had them so just a little longer
