emmaw298 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 hi there, for the last few nights we keep finding one of our girls going to sleep under a bush instead of going in to the eglu. The other two are going in to roost as normal so I can't understand why peggy keeps going under this bush?! there's no sign of any nest under there and no stash of eggs or anything so I'm not sure what it is... any ideas??

Hen Watch Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Might be woth checking there's no red mite in the eglu in case that's putting her off going to bed. But then I wonder why it's just 1 that does this? Sure someone else with more knowlege will come along soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaw298 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 no, i cleaned them out yesterday and definitely no red mite - its my first summer with chickens and im paranoid about getting bugs and stuff in the warm weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Perhaps she's just hearing the call of the wild and reverting to wild chicken behaviour . No idea really, sorry . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
