The chickens spend some time each day outside of their run to fertilize the garden and get some exercise. They play games with each other. Bel starts running and gets Cleo to chase her. They play their own form of tag, but Cleo seems to be "it" all the time.
One day, Bel took off running around the big ash tree in the back yard. Cleo joined in and chased her around the tree. As Bel started to make another round, Cleo turned around and ran the opposite way and caught Bel by surprise. I have never seen a dog smart enough to figure out that if you change directions you can head your chaser off. Most three year old humans (and some adults) are surprised when they find themselves running into their pursuer instead of being chased by them from behind.
Conclusion: You'll catch a tiger quicker if you run into it head on and stop chasing tails.
