Alex and I were playing upstairs when we heard something outside. I think it was a dog barking, but we ran outside to make sure it wasn't the chickens. (Yes, periodically we run across the street to ensure the safety of the chickens). They were fine. They escaped from the netting once again, and they were happily exploring the yard. We decided to check for eggs, and as we walked back, Sandie flew up at my head. For a split second, I thought she was attacking me for cracked corn. Instead she landed on my shoulder and roosted there. Alex was laughing uncontrollably. He took this picture with my phone.
I decided it was her way of saying "thank you." I think they're going to miss us. I know we will miss them when Beth gets home and we don't see them two (or ten) times a day.
