RedReader Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Well its day 5 today so I let the chooks out for the 1st time..... Initially they were a bit unsure but they have had a lovely day discovering the garden beyond the eglu run. One of the highlights for them was pecking at my wellie boots (I had to have the pink & white marshmallow boots!!) & being able to stretch their wings. They are now back in the run & both sitting down absolutely exhausted. At least I hope thats what it is & not some horrible illness Anyway I hope yours have all enjoyed the decent weather RR x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 definitely tired my girls always have a pre going to bed snooze when I pop them in their run at the end of the day glad you're enjoying your girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Yep-definetly tired.Freeranging does tire them out because it uses more energy.Mine generally go to bed approximately 1hr earlier when they've been out in the garden all day. Shows they're happy chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Mine generally go to bed approximately 1hr earlier when they've been out in the garden all day.quote] The girls had to stay in the run one evening as it was raining too hard, and they went to bed early!! When they have the run of the garden they stay out as late as possible, and then when it's bedtime they knock on the french doors (don't know why as we just shout goodnight through the glass) and then shuffle into their run for a well earned rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 funny because I was wondering why the girls took themselves off to bed earlier today, it's all the mooching around the garden they've been doing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 They will be tired out. It is good for them to stretch their legs a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
