Pearl, the Amazing Chicken 2-19-11

Here's an amazing chicken story. Pearl is a one-of-a-kind chicken. Yesterday, Parke moved the fencing in the yard to keep the chickens off the patio and surrounding flower beds. Pearl is notorious for flying over fences and scratching up the flowers/bulbs. Parke put a little higher fence up to hopefully prevent Pearl's destruction. Parke then was reading on the patio. After a little while, Pearl came walking across the driveway to get to the patio and flower beds. SHE HAD GOTTEN OVER THE FENCE AT THE OTHER END OF THE YARD AND WALKED AROUND THE HOUSE!!!!

Pearl is the only chicken that has laid eggs all winter. For many weeks, we got one egg a day, from our faithful leghorn. In the last week, two others have started to lay. Winter must be over soon for them to start laying again.
