hen pecked 2 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi to you all. Im new to the Forum by a couple of days. I had a shock when i returned home today to close my Chicken coop i closed the door, but decided to look inside, as they usualy are. To my shock they had not come home i searched the field in which they go through, a hole that i made for them so they could have a larger area to scratch. I only hope they return tommorow when it is light. I,m Gutted. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I hope you have a happy ending. Perhaps they have roosted in a tree. Might be best from now on to temp them into their run before light falls with a handful of corn. They don't see so well once the light drops below a certain level and might not have been able to find their way home. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hen pecked 2 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks all for your enquires. I was up with the larks this morning looking for the two chickens Blonde & dusty. I managed to get through a hole in the hedge i made for the chickens ,with corn on a tray making the noices that they are used to, all of a sudden Blonde appeard and then Dusty what a good sight it was to see them waddling at high speed to me. I think they roosted in the Brambl bush the night. I have closed the hole in the hedge untill i have extended the run in to the field. Not only did i get them back one of them also laid an egg today after a 8 week break. Thanks to you all John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats and Chickens Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I had said to my family that it I thought it would be a miracle if these chickens returned in the morning. I am so glad they did. I felt sure that a fox had visited and I am so glad that I was wrong. And an egg too!! Congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
