Cat tails Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Brought my ladies to their holiday destination yesterday! First had to catch them... Which was interesting... My initial plan was to lock them up in their coop, but they thought otherwise. One escaped from the run and then a second followed. The game was on! I tried to corner them under a bush, which worked for two ladies. The third flapped over the little fence that keeps them from my veggie patch (which has been growing quite extensively!) She ended up in a tomato plant and was almost swimming in between the branches and leaves... I wrangled her out of the veggie patch between the brussels sprouts and the carrots. Finally I had them squeezed in a cat travel box, which was a snug fit. They played dead the whole drive to the petting zoo. They found their spot in a nice run in the shade. With all sorts of other fowl, goats and kids running around. Hope they are fine, when I pick them up again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks! I'm slightly fearing putting up the tent tomorrow... They predict it will be 33 degrees... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 There's never a dull moment with chickens! Hope you have a great holiday. Last time I put a tent up, there was thunder, lightening and torrential rain! 33 degrees sounds blissful in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 That sounds horrible! We're just going to take it very easy tomorrow. It's no use trying to do things fast in that temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
