The Great Escape!!!

 We were last seen taking part in a covert operation for the PLF (Paxo liberation front) which sadly went wrong and after a close brush with a pie machine we are captured and given 6 months of cage time but after keeping our beaks clean we've been released early on Sunday, So once more we can update you on our clucking lives.....

While we've been away we've tried our best to keep up our weekly running target of 10miles, that's no easy feat when your in a 6inch cage but we've done our best, On Tuesday we decided we had to test the leg muscles and with the wind in our feathers we clocked up a eggtraordinary 15miles in less than 2 hours, we couldn't believe it and once we'd returned to the coop we crowed about it all night.  so we decided to sign ourselves up for a little race at the weekend. Yesterday saw us enter the world of Tweed and Ferrets, It was a complete eye opener for us townies playing at being land owners,it would seem everyone is everyones cousin.  With a ring of bell it was time to come out fighting, with Chick1 holding aloft her number at the wrong moment we almost returned home with a crate of dead rabbits, they might have come in handy when the hatchlings need winter gloves.

One magnificent beast that took our eye was Reg...a stunning gobbler with a twizzler to be proud of unable to borrow a trailer from anyone he had to be the one that got away. I think our tattooed cousin was the winning bidder but we didn't want to hang around to find out. After a looonnnnggggg  wait our time had come, the auctioneer called order and next thing we knew they'd sold...less than minimum wage for 5hrs work...we'll chalk this one up to experience and in future let the farmers play with themselves. 

Thursday today making it 3 days til race day, numbers are in, T shirts are ironed and the beers in the fridge to celebrate with so we're almost ready to go.  If anyone sees us then please give us a cheer it's not often you see 2 Women and a Chicken running through Walsall....well not on a Sunday anyway xx
