CoopCam in Mashpee

We had a near escape today. It is a glorious day. I was working in the garden all morning, cutting back, putting the fountain to bed for the season and caging and securing my small evergreens for the winter. I collected three eggs this morning but one of the girls did not lay. Mid afternoon the clucking began so I knew that I had one more egg. When I took a break, I brought the girls a treat. You know how they charge me at the coop door. Well, before I knew it, me and three were inside and one girl was outside, looking so pretty and munching the green grass. Bob was at the arbor fixing the gate door. I yelled for him to come help, but as he came about pretty girl ran off. I knew enough to calmly entice and shoe her with treats back into the coop. This episode only lasted seconds, but all I could think about was a coyote or neighbor dog coming out of the woods. I have no pictures to show, but it was another
adventure in raising backyard chickens!
