What you will net:
-Innumerable scratches from blackberry brambles.
-Looks from neighbors and strangers, ranging from surprised to highly amused.
-Poorly timed, very specific questions about the pros and cons of chicken husbandry.
-Half a dozen spider webs on your person.
-Intimate knowledge of your neighbors' back yards.
What you will not net:
-The escapee
In the end, she flew back over the fence herself. I love my birds, but I was about ready to write this one off.
Bwahahahahahaha....add hilarious writing fodder to what you will net.
ReplyDeleteGreat great. Thank you I needed this early morning laugh. The spider webs would have been the end of the hunt for me. Glad she came back and Love her Name ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite chicken memory is of my dad all dresed up in his fancy pants army dress uniform ,gold braid and all, climbing a 20 ft ladder trying to rescue my fly away chicken in the rain. Mum was helping trying not to get her ball gown and hairdo ruined. They were running very late to the mess dinner by the time they had finished
ReplyDeleteThe chickens wings were clipped after that!
One word: Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteGlad she got back home safely. :)
hahahahaha! Did someone by chance happen to video this? Hysterical.......glad she is home!
