choppish Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think mine have become far too use to freeranging. When i am at home and i have not let them out for whatever reason they make a hell of a racket! any idea how to break this expectation of free ranging? i think becaseu i work shifts i can be home for 10 days then on nights so they don;t get let out unless i;m home so there is not much of a routine for them to stick too.

TAJ Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 There is a danger that they make a noise, we worry about the noise and let them out - they then get into the habit of make a noise and we get let out. Not that mine really make a noise these days, but I do have a policy of only letting them out when they are quite and not responding to noise - not sure if it has worked as they were very good anyway.

Helen&Lee Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I try and ignore mine when they make a noise because they have seen me, then go back when they have quieted down to let them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph101 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've got the very same problem. You should have heard the bok bokking this morning at half six! They're too used to free ranging now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
