So tonight putting the animals away was a little more interesting.
I had gone up to the barn, let the turkeys and chickens into their pens when I realized I was missing one chicken. Paul was here and said he would get her as he saw she was just outside the barn. OK. Frankly I didn't even think this would take a minute as I've never had any issue. So I loaded up the pig bucket with grain and grabbed a bucket of water and was off for the pig pasture.
On my way back the sight before me was phenomenal! Paul was running around the barn waving his hands and starting to yell, with the chicken squawking its' head off speeding along in front of him. She's dipping and weaving all the while Paul is being a maniac! He chased her around the barn 3 times! I was in shock. I finely got a hold of myself and was about to intervene when the chicken flew through the barn doors and Paul followed her in. Thank god.
Now all I could think was "Close the door!" Oh my god he didn't close the door! I ran for it but before I can get there she comes flying out with Paul hot on her tail. Are you kidding me? I told him to just stay there, stop and just watch her. I grabbed the net out of his hand and went into the field to get her, I flushed her out of the bushes and got her inside. After which I looked over at Paul and he said "So how did I do?"
"Well..." I said. "There might be room for improvement."
