AJuff Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 After figuring out how to break out of the hen run and into the veg garden yesterday the hens have been exploring. Four made an escape out into the neighbourhood and had to be rounded up with treats! Today when two escaped again I watched Hazel, by far the biggest and heaviest hen we have, run and fly straight into the omlet netting and . . . . . she got through the tiny squares!!! I am amazed . . . now I know how they get out. Tomorrow I am bulding a weldmesh frame to spoil their fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 LOL very funny Ajuff. There was a thread about hens getting through the mesh a little while ago. So you are not the first. Chickens aren't so stupid as they are made out are they! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 We kept clipping the wing of one chicken until we worked out she was escaping under the mesh, not over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
