Gertie Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just a reminder to me to keep a close eye - my hens are FR in the garden at the moment. I've left them out later than I would normally as I want to see if they decide to go to bed altogether (integrating one remaining hen with 3 new very slowly). I popped in to go to the loo & as I looked out of the window a fox cub was exploring the garden. No harm done (chucks didn't even appear to have noticed), but a sobering reminder to never leave them unattended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wow, definitely a timely reminder, lucky it wasnt mummy fox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes, definitely lucky to have been present & that it was a cub. Interestingly, the bedtime arrangements were curious. Top (previously remaining from old flock & dominant hen), went to bed in her own house accompanied by bottom & middle hen from new flock. Middle hen from new flock went to bed alone In new hens coop (I have 2 classics). Confusing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
