It's a beautiful spring day outside with blue skies and bits of grass starting to turn green outside. Sarah17 decided that she wanted to let our chickens out for a walk so they could enjoy the tasty green shoots of grass. I told her to go right ahead as long as she put them all back again. (I knew where this was going.) So Sarah17 let the chickens out for a walk outside and then wanted to come in.
We have 12 chickens & a roo. I'm not leaving them unattended in the backyard so I told her to put them up. Of course... they don't want to go up. They want to run around in the green grass and scratch in the leaves for tasty bugs. They don't want to be in their nice enclosed chicken pen. So .... we spent the next 45 minutes chasing chickens around the yard trying to get them back inside the pen while avoiding the roo who has not had his spurred trimmed. We left his spurs untrimmed so that he could protect the chickens from predators. Of course since we're trying to catch his girls, he thinks we're predators.
They're all up safe & sound and I think I've had my exercise for today and I wasn't even trying!
