Blackrocksrock Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yesterday there was an almighty noise from a chicken so I went to see what was going on - Henrietta in the shed up on a piece of wood and the cat underneath - she was screeching fit to burst. Chased my cat and caught her and put her back in the netting. To-day she started making a noise and I came inside to watch from the window - she sailed over the fence making for the shed. I headed her off and put her back in yet again. She was really determined and as I strengthened the fence she tried to see where to fly over - I then got angry with her and decided to shut her in the eglu run on her own - result she is in the nestbox - well cannot see an egg from yesterday in the shed but there is so much rubbish in there there could be!. I hope she settles down and lays in the eglu after her time out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 I don't really want to - I have tried to tighten up the netting. I would rather she could fly than get caught by the cats - They are determined too to get the hens! 2 x killer bengal cats methinks!! They are lining up for a soaking when they go for my girls!
