Chickens on the Loose

We found out last night that we should have more than one chicken at a time out of the chicken tractor. The runt came out at first which is a first. She usually is pretty far from the door. We let her out to roam a bit (the funny thing is that they always strut to the back side of the cage and want to get back in), and while we did that a few others decided to get out. I told Renae we shouldn’t let more than one out at a time so I put the runt back in the cage, closed the door and then laughed while Renae chased the rooster around the outside of the chicken tractor.

It really wasn’t a bad situation, but it did make me wonder what we would do if multiple ones got out? They are pretty fast, and I’d hate to think about us running around trying to catch multiple chickens!
