Disappearing Chicken.

 Had a lovely evening at my friend Heidi's house. Around 10 pm I went home and had to put the chickens up. Because of the wild life around I always count them. I know I only have 5, but this night I had 4.  I check around the hen house since their fenced in.  Nope. I called Heidi for help. So here we were with flash lights walking the neighborhood looking for a black chicken  Of cause we were calling it. Like it was just going to walk right up to us, because it heard us. Right! After about a half an hour we gave up and Heidi went home. I decided to do one last check around the hen house. Only to get the crap scared out of me. Something lightly touched my head.Okay yes it sent me running. ( I am only human.) After I was done freaking out. I looked to see what had touched me. There she was, my chicken up in the tree. Do you think it might be time to clip her wings again?

I am learning new things all the time. Like when to cut their wings. I am new to raising chicken,hence the reason for only 5. I stated when our friends Mirian and Jim were building a new hen house and asked if we would like the old one and some hens. I have wanted chickens for a while so a cause I said yes. My husband was a little surprise to come home to a hen house and hens in a make shift fence. But he grow to love them and build them a great area. But we will see how long it last if, they keep disappearing.
