Guest Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Anyone else see it? My girls would have beaten that lot hands down if I rattled their corn for them. Unbelievable how uninterested those hens were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mine can get a bit of speed up too, especially if there is some sweetcorn in the offing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mine do a 'hover-run' when the corn tin is rattled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mine do a 'hover-run' when the corn tin is rattled! Oh, mine used to do that Christian...............for just about any food stuff going. So funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Our 'dinners' come thundering down the run as soon as the back door opens - they'd probably do well in a race. I wish I'd seen the programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emu Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yeah .. they were a bit slow weren't they? Our Tilda would have beaten them blind-folded and on one leg and still have time to eat and digest the corn and errm leave her calling card!

Martin B Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Very funny, I recon my girls could have won aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mine do that hover thing too - it's like a film of swans taking off from water - they run along, flapping their wings and paddling their feet. Ruby can get a bit of height and does a Red Arrows flypast! Needs her wings clipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yep mine do that too Of course the one who moulted is the one who won't let me near her - not looking forward to that wing clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 3 of mine are clipped (except fat Ella) and they can all still get up to a reasonable height, I reckon they could scale the fence if they really wanted too.....but they know which side their bread is buttered!
