Houdini is our problem chicken. She is the first to run out of an open door, and she can hop a six foot fence. That is a big enough jump/fly to get into a lot of trouble. She can hop into the alley or get a little too close to the doggies. Because of her escape artistry, we have had to confine the chickens to the mobile coop. On Tuesday, I plan on creating a completely enclosed 12x12 run.
We are not exactly sure what type of chicken Houdini is, but I hope she is an Easter Egger, or cross-bred Araucuna. Araucuna hens lay green tinted eggs and I hope that at least one of our ladies will do the same.
There's a bad joke using 'eggscape artist' in there, I know it.
