Surfnirvana Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I came back from work yesterday to find Betty roosting on top of the glug in her cube run, facing outwards! When my OH went over to let them out, she couldn't quite work out how to turn round to jump off. After much manoevering and feet slipping into the water she managed it. I have to say she's not the brightest chicken - love her, and I think she may also be deaf, as she never hears me call her. She only reacts when she sees the other three running towards me if I have treats. Still, very clever to have a bit of a foot cool on a warm, autumnal day! Anyway else experience this? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
