redhotchick Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I had a bit of a fright one night last week. My gorgeous little red hen Dolce wasn't in the Eglu when I went to lock them up for the night. They had been out in the garden and I had lost track of the time so it was dark. I went all round the garden with a torch for half an hour but no sign. I got up as soon as it was light the next morning and there she was - eating all my herbs. Naughty chicken! She had all my chives and mizuna. I was very relieved to have her back safe and sound though. I've no idea where she slept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchlayer Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 What a relief, I haven't had to go through that yet. Will chives taint eggs? or is that a joke, hmm, maybe they will taste oniony I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 chives and eggs go well together I think? naughty Dolce, we've had a few being dirty stopouts from time to time, most notably Sugar who has managed it 3 times despite only having been with us about 2 weeks!!

redhotchick Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I never thought about the chives tainting the eggs! Any idea when it would affect the eggs? 2 or 3 days after maybe? They were so cute when I reunited them, chattering away to each other. The chives seem to be recovering too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
