Desperate Hazel!!!!!!!!

Well, the girls know where the door is now. Every time we go anywhere near the run they make a break for the door, hoping that I'm about to chuck something yummy through it! Yummy is a very broad term mind, it could be corn, worms, fruit, cabbage, lettuce.... wouldn't make the most of us do back flips, but the girls literally climb over eachother to reach it first.... Once at the door should it open they ALL huddle and try to squeeze through it at the same time....... A tricky manouvre with me with my knee in the door, a bowl of goodies AND coops trying to wedge himself through from the other side!!!

Anyway...................... when you have to bodily go in you have to sort of flap the top half of the front down, stop coops from doing a sneaking high jump, bend at a strange angle and lauch yourself in whilst of course carrying treats and a back sack to sit on, as you wouldn't want to get a dirty bum! Nick of course in waiting patiently and laughing ready to hold the flap up once I am in and covered in rabbid chooks scrabbing about for food!!!!

So, the flap was undone.... we began to open while cooing nicely for them to wait nicely, when Hazel takes a running jump and is up through the 6inch gap in a jiffy!!!!!!!! Not good... she was silent and deadly! I was so shocked but managed to 'catch' her by her very skinny body and wedge her against my chest! We then forced the flap shut with her still squashed in my hands - painful! I was trying very carefuly to put her down, but the angle made it impossible and she made a flappy 'plop' onto the floor looking very put out!!!!

Man they know what's out there and are desperate to find it!!!
