Today I got up to find that the little girls had gotten out again. I had to take my granddaughter to the doctor so I put the big girls in the kennel and after I got home I decided to let them out. I moved something to let them find the bugs but it startled them and Wally just almost ended up on the shortest end of the stick. I finally decided everyone needed to get back in the house so I had to wrangle the little girls and Cinnamon now has a little nick on her beak.

Get a long lightweight stick. You can use it to “herd” the girls. Think of it as an arm extension. Have a certain call to call them to a treat. Before long, they will run for their treat and will grow accustomed to being guided by the stick.
Darlin is really good about following me and coming to me when I call her but Little One is just like, "whatever. I don't need to come to you. She's the difficult one. Wally trying to get them is the worst thing about it.

Got in the pool with my husband. Then I decided to get the garden watered. After a little while I let Darlin and Little One out to free range. I also let the little girls loose in the whole run. I came inside to help with dinner and then I called my husband and told him to come look at Darlin and Little One. They were dust bathing in the same hole and laying in the shade up against a log. My husband also decided to throw Wally in the pool. Last but not least our youngest granddaughter is coming down to stay the night.
