Ok I know it's nothing to do with jewellery making but I need to say this outloud (so to speak) as it's rather amazing/frustrating/silly....

I've got outside my door my yard/garden (what's left of it). In it I keep three chickens, three ducks, a rabbit and two guinea pigs. Now the ducks have free range except for a bit that's fenced off with what is left of my flowers in. The chickens have a large 8 foot by 6 foot run along with a similar sized shed to themselves.

Today though one of the chickens, 'Ginge' decided to break out via the duck door in the shed. This duck door has been there for months and the chickens haven't ever bothered with it until today when Ginge found it and invaded the garden. I found her and put her back in the run as I had to go out and do my radio show. I put the screen in front of the door to stop her getting back out before I went though.

When I got back from doing my radio show they were all out! The ducks must have pecked at the screen and let them out. As my two other ducks (Posh the white one and Scary the black one) are pretty thick I'm assuming Ginge (the ginger one - yep named after the spice girls lol) must have shown them the way out! How cheeky!

Anyhow, luckily I got them all back in before they ate my flowers or laid eggs in with the guinea pigs!

I'll post a photo later!
