Chasing chooks.

So...this week Will has enjoyed the luxury of taking Roxy to work rather than riding in on Jaxy. Since the boys left and we returned to Frogknot I have spent two full days having a good old tidy up. The first day I blitzed the kitchen and the second day I swept and tidied the rest of the house.Each morning, however, has begun with 'chasing chooks'.Odin has been out of the pen every morning this week, following closely behind, as the second serial offender, is Keket who has been out twice and this morning it was Odin and Isis.Isis and Keket have had their wings clipped but somehow still manage to scale the fence. Luckily I have been able to corner Keket and Isis and throw them back in but Odin is another matter...I have only managed to get him back in by manoeuvering him near to the gate and opening it for him to run in.This morning I had had enough and decided to leave Odin and Isis out and I threw all the scraps to the well behaved chickens. Odin and Isis ran up and down the fence trying to get at the scraps in the pen but they missed them....they never last long.A few moments later I heard a fluttering of wings and there was Odin sat on a fence post surveying all below before he flew back down into the pen...but he still missed the scraps.I was outside again later and Odin was out of the pen again and this time Keket had joined Isis.I cut some garlic chives and threw them in and Odin came running to the gate which I opened and he ran back in. I then chased down Keket and Isis. Keket flew back in of her own accord but I caught Isis and threw her back in. Yes, I know I said I said I was going to leave them but on the outside they have no access to water. I was right to get them back in as Isis went straight to the water tray for a drink.When Will came home he caught Odin and clipped one of his wings but 10 minutes later there he was again atop of a fence post!Flippin' chooks!
