had a right shock today

[karminski]

i went home at 10 am to check my poorly little bantie and as i was walking along the track i looked up and nearly died literally one of my dutch bantams had got out and was sitting on top of the netting abovve the extension and i was like omgggggggggggggggg how am i going to get her down , i did panic and called work to say i was going to be late as i only get a 15 min tea break as i had to catch her . i went in and out the run wandering what to do and in the end i brushed the broom up her backside and scared her of she flew down onto my plot then decided to run of but thankfully didnt go very far and then she got scared and ran back towards the main door where i finally managed to catch her rushed home tonight from the horses after asking feinds to keep an eye out during the day and it turns out some of the netting had come lose from the top of the run and i think thats how she got out its fixed for now but another stronger netting will be going up the weekend .

thats the first escape i have had in over 3 yrs not bad going .
