lisaroo2 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I can't believe it. Daisy has let me stroke her! How long have I been waiting? Two flipping years!!! I went to give the girls their tea this afternoon and she was near to the netting, as I walked into the run she crouched and then let me stroke her. I was totally amazed! I've tried everything and she's never let me near her before. AND she's used the tyre dust bath that I built last week. And, after 6 months of no eggs, we think Maisie is getting herself sorted! (I found a small paleish egg this afternoon, so fingers crossed). Phew, what an afternoon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they used it much??? I might have to do one ... At least the girls wouldn't be able to kick it over!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 ANH had a tyre dustbath for her girls and they were petrified of it, so she had to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I have 3 tyre dustbaths for my girls, one in the run and two outside and they love it, always in there. So try one, you can get them free from your local tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hi I've seen Daisy use it just the once and then today they've ALL made dustbaths just outside of the tyre!!! And there was me thinking I was doing them a favour!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ's Chooks Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Oh how funny... As hard as they tried to resist it, they just couldn't I had a punctured tyre that I kept, so though I'd just try, oh they were funny and never cease to amaze me, they have to wait for mocha to give his permission before they could go in!!! And then of course they all had to try and get in at once!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
