Chicken Takes Off and a Ride In the Forest

Sunday April 27, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Chicken takes off

This morning when I went out to open the main gate to the main road, I looked down after opening the gate and a chicken had followed me out to the main road. It immediately started to go down the road. I tried to stop it and shoo it back but it insisted on going down the road and it disappeared. I hope it comes back tonight to roost.

Forest ride

With things a bit wet from yesterdays rain, I figured the old road wood be a bit muddy so I took my dirt bike for a ride up into the forest instead.

I spotted this big banana slug, about 7 inches long. They like the damp from the rain.slug1

I did go over and check out the old dirt road. I stopped here to check out this water crossing as water was going down the road instead of across it. I’ll need to adjust that.road2

I made it to the top and this was the view from there.sky3

Woodcutter

I heard a chainsaw working close by and found Barry cutting firewood.truck6

I rode around some more and eventually returned home for a nap.

Later in the day, I pulled this tarp off what it was covering with intent of repairing the tear in it so it wouldn’t rip anymore.tarp9

Some good tape should fix this up. However, I never did get that tarp taped today.tear10

That chicken that took off

When I went out to lock the chickens in for the night, I counted the chickens on the roost to see if that chicken that took off this morning had returned. I have 14 chickens total and they were all on the roost. Great.

Nice day.
