Yes, even with Nora in the yard, the chickens STILL love to jump the fence. This time Shirley got quite the chase. Thankfully Chris realized what was happening when Nora had her cornered by the coup removing feather after feather. He got Nora away yet was concerned Shirely wouldn't make it (not that he used her name) I had literally just pulled in from work when Chris came to get me saying she was barely alive and we may have to do something. Her little face was stuffed by the black bag, If a Chicken could look terrfiied, she sure did. She is our best layer - producing a big white egg just about every day. She is also the smallest lady too.
We put her in the cage in the garage for a few days and am honestly amazed and thankful for how quickly she recovered. It took me a while to write this blog and while it happened April 13 and its now June - she hasn't jumped the fence again. Maybe chickens are smarter than we thought.
