wandering chooks - 06:42 PM
(filed under 'animal')
bummer. we're going to have to keep the chooks locked up. they've been free-range for a little while now & it seems that ranging has included not just our neighbour on one side, but as far as two doors down the other way as well. the lady at that house came to tell me that her dog had bailed up one of the chooks & that they were going into their horse's stable & making a mess there.
i had no idea they were wandering that far. it's a shame to have to lock them up, but we can't let them mess up other people's places .. it's a quick way to make enemies of our neighbours.
i guess tomorrow we'll have to get hooked into the chook shed & wire it up all the way to the top of the shed so they can't get out, as well as making sure that we keep the door closed to keep them in. i wonder if we could build some sort of highish fence around a bigger area (& clip their wings) so that they'll still have some grass & bugs to eat. we'll have to think about it.
shroom had his last day of work today, so i guess we'll take advantage of it & use this time to get onto it straight away.
