And I'm Still Smarter than a Goat!

High on the elation of having outwitted Nutmeg in the matter of the weak spot in the fencing, I have attempted to outwit my little sneak, Echo.  She is wont to squeeze into the little chicken door in the hen house (15 inches x 14 inches) , eating their food and spilling their water.  To thwart all such efforts I nailed a 2x4 vertically directly through the middle of the doorway.

 Each side is just the right size for a chicken to exit or enter. 

 The Black Hen, who is my most faithful egg layer, heartily approves. (Although she wonders why I am sticking my head in through her little door.  Everyone else seems unconcerned.  I believe they are used to my strange behavior.)

I secretly hope to see Echo try and squeeze through that little doorway just so I can do my "I'm  Still Smarter Than A Goat!" Dance on the back porch.
