Raina Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I had locked the chickens into the eglu while i raked over the woodchip and added fresh water. Well while i was filling up the water i heard a shuffle shuffle noise (like someone flapping a carrier bag) so i turned round couldn't see a thing so carried on filling up the glug,then i turned round to go back to the eglu to find the girls scratching about on the garden,bums wobbling everywhere. Well that's OK for some people but i can't let them out because the back garden leads onto the front where they could easily get run over so i showed tehm the mash i made them and they came running over like headless chickens and ran into the eglu run I have never been so scared in all my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henriette Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Oh, that awful sinking feeling. I know it so well. Thank goodness you were quick enough to get them back in. Nothing like the food pail to entice the little darlings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henhathnofury Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Raina, you do have a lovely way with words...I love the 'bums wobbling everywhere'...but glad that you got them back in. They stuck close to you because they know what a good 'parent' you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
