Phoebe Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Took the hens some grapes at 4 and then shut the cube door while I cleaned out the nestbox - otherwise they follow me in there looking for more grapes. You can guess the next bit. My hens are in a run so I went out just now to shut them up for the night and found four wet and miserable hens queuing up on the ladder as the cube door was still shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhitehouse Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 lol A couple of weekends ago I was late cleaning my cube out and had shut the door to stop them from getting in the way. It was starting to get a bit dark and I had almost finished when I heard them knocking on the door! They were literally pecking at it to tell me to get a move on! Needless to say I felt duly told off and let them in whereupon they moaned and groaned like a lot of old biddies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 When we first got the chooks, DD used to shut the door before opening the egg hatch, one day she forgot to open it again & I went out after dark to find a heap of sleepy chooks snuggled up in the corner there the door rests when fully opened . It wasn't easy to encourage them up & out of the way so they could go indoors ! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebe Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Glad I am not the only one. I shall dose them all up with citricidal tomorrow to guard against colds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
