I think she's lonely once out on her own though so hasn't made an escape bid for a couple of days now.<br /><br />The girls have however, managed to get their own back - egg numbers have fallen and one is still manging NOT to lay in the boxes, preferring instead the sheep shelter.<br /><br />I'm glad you like the names Lucy - interestingly it's only those with Mrs in their name who escaped - Fluffy Chick, Chocolate, Norma, Old Speckled Hen, Other Old One, Mabel and Chicken Licken stayed put!!A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-47889030256280312682009-09-26T12:02:25.096+02:002009-09-26T12:02:25.096+02:00Oh you did make me chuckle!

Hope you get a bounty of eggs. My ladies are the same - I've had to shut them up each night only letting them out by mid-day so they lay in the hen house and not on top of the hay stack in the barn - beyond my reach..... however with shorter days coming I may have to revise that plan as I hate depriving them of "stratching about" time....Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-29149645126493717352009-09-26T10:13:59.656+02:002009-09-26T10:13:59.656+02:00I know only too well, how they can form escape com...I know only too well, how they can form escape committees and try everything to get out, it makes for a frustrating day. Poor you having to keep them in, but if like you say they start to lay in one place it will all have been worth it.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-16040618401638720822009-09-26T10:08:33.880+02:002009-09-26T10:08:33.880+02:00And I thought I sometimes had it difficult with 2 ...And I thought I sometimes had it difficult with 2 hens! Rosie reading that made me giggle! You poor things chasing around after those pesky cluckers! Great names too :) I hope the confinement works out for you and your feathery ladies.
