Well update from this morning. After feeding them yesterday we put in sand boxes to dust in. They were going crazy and we had fun watching them dust. Momma had the dogs on the atv rack watching the quail also. Closed the doors and as usual we put the chickens up after they went to roost.
This morning I usually check on them and feed if needed before I leave for work. I rounded the corner and one pen was wide open and the birds were gone, one of my breeder pens [emoji35]. I called to the wife and was pissed, first thought was we left it open, then someone walked the gas line and stole them. No feathers around, no disturbances nothing. She walks over and says there is a bird back by the swampy area we have that’s overgrown. I catch it and pearl finds another. At this point a bird here or there going in different directions, even in the neighbors wooded lot. Eventually we catch about ten and the wife is chasing one on the Gas line right of way after pearl found it. It flies and lands in the deep water. She sends pearl for it and she brings it back alive. Chances were slim that I’d find half but I think we got them all thanks to pearl.
This is area most was in.
Gas line
Wooded area.
Happy birds and happy me.
So I’m thinking we closed the door but didn’t latch it. Door opened sometime last night or early this morning. For the record I didn’t tell her it was her fault cause the one she was playing with was the one that was opened. I lived to see another day and she was out there helping w boots on and her night clothes.
Meanwhile I ordered another 110 eggs again. Was supposed to be delivered yesterday and then again today....still haven’t gotten them. [emoji2373]
