Chicken chase

It is dark and I got my heavy hens moved into their new pen. I went into the house where they were all on the roost. First thing I had to was block the door where they go into the pen or they would have all made a break for freedom. I catch the first two hen, the other pen is just one step away. I put then in the new pen and go do the same again, two more moved I decide to take three at a time. I get out side the house with three hens and while I am locking the door so my dog penny can't get in the house and catch chickens I dropped a nice hen, Down the hill the hen goes and penny right on her trail. They went about a city block and penny caught Mrs. Hen. I Have to hurry or the chicken will be dead. The hen was glad to see me and I carried her back and put her in the pen. My neighbor came out to help, He is a nice old man but I didn't want help besides he is 80 years old. I moved all the heavy hens and the two rooster that will be with them. The 9 bantam hens wont know what to think with out all the big girls crowding them at the food pan I feel like I have done a full days work.
