auntielizzie Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Oh dear, I don't think we were very popular this Sunday morning. I forgot to shut the pop hole last night and the girls woke me and probably the entire neighbourhood up at 5.15 shouting their heads off at something I couldn't see properly as I didn't have my contact lenses in, but something ran off when I reached them and unceremoniously shut them back in their house! Might have been a rat or even a cat - pretty sure even with my terrible short sightedness I would have seen if it was something larger like a fox. What signs would I see if it was a fox though? Surely it would have disturbed the omlet netting or tried to dig or something? I don't think a fox could get in without jumping over the fence from next door, and I'm sure whatever I heard ran under the fence where there is a little gap my cat uses as an exit and entrance.

Cat tails Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Happened to me before too. Middle of the winter, 5:30 freezing morning, and I got to chase three chickens around the garden and stuff them back into the Go. Currently they wake up at about 5:45. I sleep with my window open so I wake up from their mutterings in the coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
