Durham Lass Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello My first two lovely ladies have gone (old age) and I got some replacements on Wed. They are Marans and came from a local farm. When I collected them, they were roosting in a tree. I kept them in for the first two nights and days but tonight they flew into my neighbour's tree and I had a right job getting them out. I live rurally but I think my neighbour will object if this continued. I've clipped their wings and it's made little difference as they are young and light. Should I keep them in the run for a few more days to get them into a habit of going in or shall I give up and return them? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveypup Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I would maybe keep them in for a little longer until they realise where they are supposed to go to bed. Welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello and welcome. I agree....keep them confined to the run for a few days, to break their old habit, and get them used to their new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
