TAJ Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 My babies born last October have been out free ranging, but tend to run back in their Eglu if the big girls approach them. Today I decided to lock the Eglu so they all had the garden and cube to use - all went fine - a bit of chasing but that was it. At dusk I wanted to see if they all just went in the Cube together - I kept looking out and the big girls hadn't gone to bed THEN the next time I look out all the big girls have gone to bed in the cube, but where were the 5 youngsters? One was in the garden at the door of the Eglu waiting for it to open and the other 4 had vanished, then I noticed one perched for the night on top of the 6ft fence at the end of the garden - just his tail, the rest of her body hidden in the shrubs in the next garden! Eventually I found the other 3 in the Cube (hiddden underneth other chickens, but quite happy). I think a bit of wing clipping is in order - a dog lives the otherside of that 6ft fence.
