Henry's chicken "Climber" has fulfilled its naming prophecy!
We went out to lunch and low and behold to our surprise, when we got back from lunch "Climber" was out of the brooder and on the garage floor hanging out. She must have jumped through the top front of the brooder where there is a small gap of about 2.5 inches. Just enough for a chicken to get through.
Fortunately she was easy to catch. She didn't run away from me, she just stood there patiently and waited for me to pick her back up. Luckily no broken feet either.
I definitely need to finish the coop. They must need more room than the brooder provides. I might take them outside to run (one at a time) so they can get more exercise. I'll let you know how that goes.
