I don't think the chickens are going to tolerate any nonsense about being rounded up.; April 9, 2011 at 10:38 AM

Then we would let her loose in there and she was fine. After she got a little bigger, we stopped doing that, but noticed that they were playing through the fence, especially with Pee Wee, who was usually the aggressor. So we felt pretty safe in doing this.; April 9, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Susan Gartner said...: What a smart way to go about it. Maybe Suki will prove very useful with wayward hens and roosters. I like watching Suki's whip-fast reactions. I look forward to more video interactions. Thanks for posting that cute video.; April 10, 2011 at 9:31 AM
