Yesterday, when I opened the cage to feed Amy's chicks the little Barred Plymouth Rock fell out of the cage and immediately half ran- half flew away. She's not very tame and would not let us get near her, but for some reason she ran right up to any cat she saw and just hung around them. The dog was out at the time and tried to help us catch her, but we were afraid he would step on her or trip and accidently crush her, so we put him up.
Mom tried shaking a cup of scratch grain to attract her, and she started to follow one of the cats but she ran off before one of us could get to close.
It took us about twenty minutes to catch her. And Mom (who finally managed to grab her) says the little girl pretty much gave up and threw herself at her.
Up until this escape attempt we had been afraid the Barred Plymouth Rock was a rooster. But her tail looks like a hen and when she was running around the yard she looked like a hen. I hope she is indeed a hen because she is soo cute; with those cheek tufts and those pretty green eyes and her self assuredness...Thank you for reading Bats Bizarre's offical blog. Have a bat-tastic day!
