coco Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have not long come in from work to find new girl Fifi wandering round the front garden. Little madam had dug under the run, at least she is friendly and came to me straight away. The new girls are on the vegetable patch at the moment and the ground is really soft. I'll have to find a way to stop her getting under the run or move the run onto the concrete. I thinks she's going to be trouble she's got that look about her.

Chortle Chook Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I knew that some chickens like to fly but I didn't know some would dig their way out Luckily, so far, none of mine have shown much inclination to escape. I do hope it stays that way. I'm nervous now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I used to find Steph wandering around on the grass and could never work out how she did it. Then I caught her at it . She'd discovered that she could limbo dance under the Omlet netting where there's a 'gate' . Luckily none of the others were bright enough to follow suit .

Chortle Chook Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ain't "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here, I've just clicked on the WIR link on your signature and I can't think why on earth any bright hen would want to escape from that set up. It is just brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 My poor girls are too stupid to escape. Half the time they can't even get out when the gate is open! If the open gate is on one side of the run, but you're on the other side, they just pace back and forth trying to get through the wire to get directly to you. It doesn't occur to them that you can go through the gate onone side and go around. We had to invest in another door in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
