One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest!

Yep, you heard that right! Garola farm has reached an all time low high! Clipping chicken wings! Chickens can't fly more than two feet off the ground. So that's what we were told, it's also what we read. It's also hogwash! Either our chicken feed has kryptonite in it, or our chickens are dying for a new home, but they were escaping their newly built fence like crazy! It's secure! There is no way they could go under around or through it, they were going over! I'm not sure it was totally flying. I think they were hopping on the top of the run, then the coop, then the fence. Nonetheless, when Cade and I chased one over our 7 foot privacy fence and all over our 90 year old neighbor's backyard in a thunderstorm, I knew we had hit chicken rock bottom! NEVER again would I do that. So my very smart birdbrained husband watched a youtube video on how to clip chicken wings and then did it himself! Yes, youtube was his authority! He said to think of it as a haircut! It's worked, I think, I better not let the girls hear me say that, but no ones flown the coop in nearly 2 weeks! :) I'm really not sure what's more redneck about this video, our under construction, rigged up half painted chicken coop and messy yard (it's done now and looking much more chic), the half naked two year old in the background, or Cade's camo pj pants and very redneckish end comment to poor Ellie. Yes, I do know what's more redneckish, Cade wins!
