Alis girls Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 One of my young girls I think is broody. Today we shut the door of the nesting box so she couldnt go back in. Well - she went mental - went up and down shrieking loudly - I was worried about complaints. ES said helpfully "OMG shoot her" OH could only remark that shes a girl who knows what she wants. Let her go back in for now till I rethink tactics. I wish I could have filmed her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS1 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Sympathies. I was flown at by a furious araucana today after I'd manhandled her out of the nesting box for the second time and wheeched her about a bit to get some air around her under-carriage. She's now locked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppers77 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Is think they are. Our gwinnie was last yr & we ended up segregating her in the greenhouse! ( with a radio) she got sick of it in the end climbed over my head & gave up ( prefers radio 2?). This yr she's had a couple of funny saturdays (only for the day bizarrely! ) particularly when it's house scrubbing. Day P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Might try Capital radio- all that rap and Rhianna might make her think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_B Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hehe I have a few images in my head Today was the first day that I had a good clear out of the house and my White Star pullet was shrieking like a cockerel and was stopping around not impressed! Even though she doesn't go in there during the day! I am sure she's getting louder too I wouldn't change her though x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 She was chucked out this am for cleaning and hasnt gone back yet (touches wood) - I was prepared to do a cold wash (i dont have a sinbin) as this worked with my others. At present shes dustbathing with her mates. She didnt throw a strop when I shut the door today. Probably the sweet smelling nest box isnt to modoms liking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
