I had to leave a note with my name and mobile phone no.
Do you remember Sid the Shnowser from an earlier post. It happened in their garden.
I was with my wife and ending our woodland dogwalk and we were passing the front garden of Sid's house and Cosmo gets all alert and perky as he becomes excited, because there are chickens in the front garden.
There is a stout new fence with well stapled wire to keep these chickens in and other animals out. So we are not bothered.
But Cosmo legs it through the wide open front gate and into a cluster of about 8 chickens. He chases them round the garden under bushes and over a low fence. I rushed in shouting and it was pandamonium. Chicken feathers started blowing in wind and Cosmo has got one in his mouth!
As it turned out this chicken managed to run under some decking when Cosmo droped it. and I was able to put him on the lead.
My wife put him in the car and I knocked on the door and explained we had a bit of a to-do with chickens and the one under the decking here looks traumered at best.
The guy was not the owner of the property or the chickens, they were out at the moment and he said 'Its only a chicken' and was completely unimpressed. I left a note with my contact details if the owners wonder what's up with their chicken they can contact me.
We laughed all the way home in the car as we said that every time Cosmo goes past Sids house in the future he will say to himself 'you didnt show up when I had your chickens did you' and piss loudley on the gate post.
Its a shocker though enit!
