I thought I was having a 'should have gone to specsavers' moment this morning when I went out the back door to see Penelope come bounding towards me on the path - which, incidentally is on the WRONG side of her flipping fence !!!
There was me on the back step with the 3 dogs standing next to me all looking at this chicken wondering 'what the heck?!?'
Eddie (one of the JRT's) made a dash for her, I told him Leave it and he did, next Charlie (the other JRT) went up to her and had a good sniff but Kyle (Westie) just stood at the back door with his face saying 'No way am I going to chase a chicken hmmpppphhh'.
All's well that ends well, I picked Penny up, popped her back over the fence. She then promptly went into the nesting box and started her egg laying so she obviously wasn't traumatised by her little escapade. She had managed to dig around in the stones making a merry mess and lucky for her she was smart enough to stay away from the veggie garden - this time
I need to get dogs and chickens together without a fence in between them so they become more accustomed to one another so watch this space
