Finally, My chicken realise who the boss is....and its not me

This past week my 5 chickens have been dilly dallying at bed time.

It started a week ago when something spooked them 10 minutes before they were due to retire for the evening.

Its unsettled them, they are in the coop, then out then make extra security checks going around the coop several times, they go back in, the slightest noise and there back out and the whole process starts again.

Tonight my Hubby came down with me and the last one in shot back out to see who it was.
By this time it was dark and i told the chicken that she may as well just send an open invitation to foxy as she was now encroaching on his timetable.

Hubby asked, "cant you just pick her up and put her in"? I told him by all means if he thought he could catch her then the floor was all his.
Off course she soon had the better of him  and was racing around the empty veg patch
He calmly walked over to the coop, pointed at the pop hole in a very authoritarion manner and said "for goodness sake, get in"
She stopped dead in her tracks, about turned and trotted up the ramp straight in. 

I've booked him for the rest of the week!

They do love giving us the run around. 

Chicken Whisperer, now there could be a career change for your hubby!!   

I currently have pulled rib muscles due to trying to "guide" a bantam back to her coop!!    It only hurts when I sneeze, laugh, cough, move ...............!
