Mrs Frugal Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi Gary, Debbie and Amy, I've removed your phone number from your post as it's not a good idea to put personal information like that on the forum because it's open to anyone and information like that can be badly abused. Anyone interested in rehoming your hens can contact you via the forum Private Message system or via Barbara@omlet.co.uk who will pass messages on to you. Have you tried extending your Eglu run to give the girls more safe space. Certain breeds of dog will chase hens. It's in their nature, I'm afraid and if your dog is a hunting breed, the hens would really be safer permanently in the run. Many owners here keep their hens in the run quite happily all the time and it's a nicer solution if you're attached to them than to rehome them.

Abbey Road Girl Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Sometimes rehoming is the only alternative, but am so glad that you are able to save your chickens from the distress of upheaval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
