The Escapee

Not Exactly Fort Knox...

We had our first escapee. A curious brown leghorn found his way out. With them gaining coordination and finding the point of least resistance, a section of the brooder that doesn't have the cardboard near their hide-y corner. We aren't sure how long he was hiding in the closet and once returned to the brooder seemed to be okay.

Since then we raised the flaps on our cardboard walls to raise the walls from the original ~6 inches to 15 inches and we taped up the area between the wall and cardboard to keep them from getting out again.
