I caught her. Ohhhh the satisfaction. See that grin of mine?
I pulled out her wing....
And I clipped it! YES! I clipped it! She will no longer be flying over the fence to devour (all) of my carrots and onions and half of my new corn. OVER IT! OVER IT I TELL YOU!
Now for the chicks. I had the husband pick up a length of aviary fencing to put a final barrier between the garden and the chickens who have chicks. Since we have 2 broody hens right now... oy.

such a naughty momma (chicken that is) when we had chickens sometimes they'd get in my garden and make lovely dustbowl holes.. oh the joy!! i do miss the feathery ladies.. one day one day chickens will wander the fields again!
That's it. I will not even consider chickens in my garden. No thanks.
I guess you showed her who's boss! heehee
When you said "I pulled out her wings" I had this awful vision of you de-winging the hen, blood and all. I was so pleased to scroll further and see that was not the case. :)
