phenna_family Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi everyone, Right has this happened to anyone else..... when it's getting dusk, our chickens have decided that bedtime is in our conservatory, they tap on the window of the door wanting to be let in...... little horrors, so I have to go outside and shout, "come on girls", they run across the garden towards the eglu but chatting in disgust as if to say......."yes, but we want to roost in the conservatory on the nice chairs" Has anyone on this forum had problems with their chickens wanting to roost somewhere other than their eglu????????

chelsea Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yes, not personally experienced - but have heard in trees is a popular spot ! They are funny little things arent they....they do make us chuckle - their little personalities... My neighbours must think im barking, cos im always talking to them.

phenna_family Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 mine haven't got that brave yet, they haven't discovered the top of the eglu, they just like the chairs in my conservatory. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 those chickens know a good thing when they see it ! They certainly have settled in quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgy chooks Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Ditto to the top of the run - ours do that most nights, patiently waiting to see if they'll get let in or more to the point get a handful of sweetcorn We have always thought it is because the run is outside our lounge window and they want to be near the lights?

phenna_family Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi Chelsea, yes they have settled in really well, and its really funny when I am pegging out the washing and they are looking in my washing basket to see whats in there. I am so glad we decided to get chickens as they make great pets, and are fun to be with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 When we introduced a 3rd chicken and shut her in the run we left the egg port open for T&S to go to bed. It got dark and I couldn't find T&S and panicked that they had lflown off because of the new chicken, but found them roosting in the cardboard box the new chicken had come in.
