Eventful morning as usual! On the way up to the #polytunnel to plant lettuce, I spotted Madam Houdini the escape artist had escaped yet again! Her tail was sticking out of the nest she's made in the long grass, and as she couldn't see us, she thought she was hidden! Hen-brained🤣 
Later on at coffee time I surprised her by the compost heap, scratching around. The escape artist caught in the act - and I've never seen a hen look SO guilty! She was definitely thinking - "Damn - I've been spotted again!" Bit difficult trying to catch a hen with one dodgy leg!
By mid-morning - she was headed down the drive clearly hell-bent on an 'awfully big adventure'! Luckily the gates were closed or we might have been eating spatchcocked chicken for supper!😱 Naturally by the time son appeared - she'd disappeared and we couldn't find her again!🙄
The last place we looked was near the hen house - where Madam was placidly waiting to be let in again - having laid her egg and got tired of her 'awfully big adventure' - she was now fancying elevenses!🙄If she keeps doing this she'll be McFoxes #takeaway before very long!😱
