Well here goes another saga of Maegan and I. I have got the food thing handled and paying a lot of attention, pasture is fenced now and secure, due to getting her early things just were not ready.
Now here is the problem. Due to just moving to the new house the barn is not ready for anything to be in it yet. I have another building that had been sectioned off about 10 20 with windows for light. When I heard that Meagan was coming early I got shavings and secured the area and made sure (I thought that everything was secure).
As my husband was going to bed this evening he yelled that the baby was out, I said that can not be, the door is secure. Sure enough here she was under the apple trees eating apples.
After going out and looking (she has been in this area now for almost 3 weeks) the door was secure but she had busted out the window area and jumped out. Now I am telling you this area is 2 foot off the ground and is 3 foot high and 1 1/2 or 2 foot wide and was covered. She had to jump out on some planks and a rabbit hutch to clear the area. Thank goodness no major damage to her, small cut but nothing I was not able to patch.
My question is what would cause her to do that. There is nothing here that would freighten her or threaten her as the area is very secure.
I don't know if I can stand this until the barn is done, I just don't want her to get really hurt. Have now gone in and screwed boards across all the openings, so now it looks like a prison.
