BeckyBoo Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Excellent! Yours obviously just like to take a little more of the evening air before turning in. Fancy trying to put them to bed before they were ready! The cheek! Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milly Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I just caught up on this. Our two omlet hens put themselves to bed around 9.30. The two new ones we bought a couple of weeks later used to put themselves to bed at 8.30 but then realised they were a bit early. They hang around until about 9.00 now! I think they still go to be first so they can get in the nesting box Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Georgie takes herself to bed in her Mark 1 Eglu at around 9pm at the moment (obviously it varies throughout the year). The Orpingtons, Trinny and Suzanna, (who have only been in the Cube for a couple of nights) start faffing around at the base of the ladder at about 9.15 and then eventually manage to get up there by about quarter to ten! I've just added another four today, so goodness knows what will happen tonight! I expect to have to lift them up into the Cube tonight, and force them down the ladder tomorrow morning. After that I shall expect them to do it for themselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
