How NOT to catch a chicken.

Finally got the gray/navy striped warp off the AVL today......40 yards.  

I hemmed and washed and pressed, and there are 42 new towels done.

 During the day I had to keep going out to round up wandering chickens.

At one point, my husband called me from his cell phone, while he was walking the dog, to tell me that another chicken was loose in the yard.
He said he tried to catch it, but he couldn't.

I said, "hmmm, do you think maybe having Roy on a leash, while chasing the chicken, MAY have encouraged the chicken to NOT get caught?????


 Finally, I'd had enough.

So after Lois and I watched a You Tube video, we went out and did what I've been trying to avoid.

She held the chicken, and I clipped wings.  We did the two who kept getting out.

After she left, I looked out the window, and there was a chicken out.........AGAIN.

So I went out, thinking it was another of the 6 new chickens, who are light enough to flap their way over the fence.  But it wasn't.  It was one of the chickens that I'd already clipped.
So I put her back in, and before I could get around the back of the run, she was out again.
What???????

So I put her back in, and ran around the back of the coop.  I waited and watched, and finally I caught her, coming through a small hole in the fence that I had missed on inspection of the fence.

Now the AVL is ready for a new warp, and maybe the chickens will stay in.

This retirement life is so exciting.
