This. Keeps. Happening.
I guess this is how it goes when you free range your chickens and are used to keeping your doors wide open. Please take special note of the guard dog in the background that could be keeping this from happening.
This is, incidentally, my husband’s chicken breaking point, apparently. When I started talking about getting chickens, he said nothing and sighed. When I started reading books on having chickens, he said nothing and sighed. When I announced that I was going to the feed store, with or without him, to get baby chicks, he sighed and came along. When he was volunteered to help build the dreaded coop, he swore a lot, but made it happen. Yet this is where the line has been drawn. Chickens. Do. Not. Go. In. The. House. Is it bad that I think it’s hilarious when the ladies just drop in unannounced? Because it is. It just is.
That’s more like it Chance. Nice job.
Now, this is just sad. Chickens don’t like banishment. I think we’re going to have to repair that rip in the screen, though….I don’t like the way Gertie is looking at it.

Hilarious writing – loving the photo story
love this post, made me smile!
Go chickens!
I am rolling on the floor laughing at loud. The looks on these chickens’ faces is priceless. As is the photo of the so-called “guard dog.” Going to link to your lovely garden pix as soon as I can figure out how.
Aw, shucks! Thanks for the back-up…I’m new to all this, so I have no idea how to do it either!!

This is an absolute hoot, but I agree with your husband the screen door is the line.
This is hilarious and charming, all at once. I love your little guard dog!
