Chooks 1 Me 0

The chooks are settling in to the hen house and this is where they have been since arriving on Sunday afternoon. So according to the chook guy and the many books 48hrs "cooped up" is enough and they should be ready to start exploring. So i let them out!! The boys and i sat well back and watched as they took their first steps outside, ahhhh happy chooks! They obviously smelt freedom and promptly ran onto the next property..................needless to say they had fun watching the boys and I trying to get them back over our side of the fence. Once back in the right yard I decided to retreat and let them wander around and ambush them later. Thanks to a small peice of fence wire and a long stick i managed get them safely home. I think tomorrow we will be finishing their pen and i will have to wait until they trust me before we let them "free range" again!

First taste of freedom
