Smeg Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 They are here! yipee I have 2 really young (3-4 months old) who were very shy and wouldn't come out of the cube. We introduced 2 POL hens a couple of hours later and put them in the run. The shy babies then came out and have followed the 2 older ones so its all happy families! They didn't know how to get back in the cube this evening though so hubby crawled in (snigger snigger) and picked each one up and popped them in the cube (knee deep in poo!) the last one did not want to go, poor dipper got really stressy but he managed to get her in the cube after about 10 mins. hopefully they will now get the idea so tomorrow will go in by themselves! otherwise its more sniggering watching hubby knee deep in poo lol. Hubby is actually quite taken by them and has decided to start building a walk in run tomorrow and once he's done he wants 2 more hens! so much for me nagging to get them for ages! he keeps going out to check on them - ah bless. i'll post piccys over the weekend! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
