patsylabrador Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Over the years I've noticed that my chickens have quite an aversion to hi-viz and neon. They really hate it. So we have bought a couple of neon rock-pooling nets and these are brilliant. If we want them to go back in their run, sometimes it's enough to just pick one up and they troop away. If they're digging up seedlings I just lay one down on the bed and they keep away. This morning Persephone started crowing so I put the net on her favourite perch and she went very quiet. I don't know what they think the bright colour will do but it makes them very biddable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Silly girls. A big neon monster no doubt. Does it work on cats..........I wonder if I should get something like that for the ones that come in my garden ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ours went crazy earlier last week when I appeared with a big white 'snake' and laid it out around the enclosure between the runs. It was an extension lead! Perhaps I should have bought a black one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
