A banner day! 7 chickens and 7 eggs! I can live with that. Well, that was yesterday. Today I got 4 eggs. That makes an even 3 dozen eggs this week! Not yoo shabby. I was getting the girls some cracked corn this morning. Turned around and tgere was Delilah outside the fence. She has never done anything like that. She was scared to death. Let me tell you, the funnies started then. I was having a lazy morning so I was still in my pj's. So, here is this scared black chicken running around the coop and me in pj's chasing it. Twice I had Delilah cornered and once I almost got her. Almost. Even got close enough to pull out 2 of her beautiful black tail feathers. Then I figured that I would leave tge gate open and try to chase her back in. There were no chickens around so sounded good to me. I grabbed a stick and tried to herd Delilah to the gate. Then Jenny tried to make a break for it. Quickly stopped that. All the while, Delilah is trying to get back into the yard by going through the chicken fence. Delilah finally saw Jenny go back in and took her head out of the fence at the right time. She saw the door opened and ran for safety. Me? Well, I am extra glad we have trees around our yard. That episode reminded me of a trip to NYC with Dot. But that is another story.
