She seems very happy to be back with the flock but repeats it all again the next day. A bit like Winne the Pooh who said, ““When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.” Our hen is a bird of Very Little Brain and should a coyote happen along it might think quite differently about being on the outside. Don’t we all have a little wanderlust in us and a little homing instinct?
We have one skinny hen who ought to be named Houdini for her ability to escape the coop almost everyday. She is a “grass-is-greener” hen and who can blame her. At this time of year there is not much green happening on the inside and a whole lot of temptation on the outside. Thing is, I cannot find where she is getting out and after a few hours on the outside she usually wants to get back in and can’t find the place she left from. After a little running back and forth along the fence I can pick her up and test her wings out.
