Moose, Miranda and the chicken great escape.......

Baby chickens....I LOVE chickens.....as pets!! And of course there wouldn't be a family out there who hasn't had a funny experience with a random (or in our case - not so random!) child....

For those of you who are familar with the carry on of the Moose's mother, will know that her obsession with Sex and the City travels far and wide.......how does this relate to chickens I hear you ask?  Have a guess............................................................................................................................................................

YES you are right - I named my chicken 'girls' after my other 'girls' from Sex in the City (aka Charlotte, Carrie, Samantha and Miranda)

This story involves 'girl' chicken Miranda....it has a happy ending people so don't tune out just yet!

One fine sunny Friday morning, I was minding my own business in the kitchen, doing very important mummy business - when I hear a high pitched scream of spine chilling proportions!!  Miranda (bless her little heart) was attempting the great escape - assisted by (willing) partner in crime Moose. Poor precious Moose had the 3 year old thought, that letting Miranda out would be a fun idea.........and then in a split second later - thought better of it (Phew!) BUT she closed the chicken coup latch on her little yellow fluffy chicken body....peep peep Peep PEEp PEEEEP PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP was Miranda's escalating panic cry for help, while Moose continued to wail uncontrollably!  Poor Miranda and Moose - bonded for life (and scarred!) by the mutual traumatic experience.....

Funny.......NOW! 

Till next time
