chicken bark Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Today I moved their run out of most of the mud and onto fresh grass. This meant moving a number of houses - I'm just hoping they will work out where to go at bedtime. I'm expecting some musical chairs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggasperated Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Mine survived being moved yesterday from the Solway, which was squashed by a tree - see the weather thread, indoors into cat baskets then back out to a new area and with the eglu I had spare which two of them had never slept in before. There was a bit of confusion at bedtime but by this morning they seemed to have got themselves sorted. Hopefully yours will be able to work it all out - I always reckon it only needs one or two sensible ones then the others follow. I am assuming you did remember to get some sensible ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodinparts Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I too visualised praying chickens - but then, I am a vicar..... So - tell us - did they behave? I'm going to want to do some moving of housing shortly & wondering what I'll be letting myself in for.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have re-read the title and I see what you mean! Well did I have sensible ones? Possibly - if sensible is finding any house in a storm. They are all in houses tonight - not necessarily ones they are supposed to be in but as long as they are covered up I don't care. It'll be fun when I section of the Pekins and give them a house of their own. I imagine a lot of flying over fencing to get back 'home' when I do that.
