CatsCube Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I have grass, I have plants, I have cosy hidyholes around shrubs and a waterfall, do they take advantage of this? No They all sit together round the patio furniture on the decking! I think its cause yesterday it was a nice sunny spot and the wood retains the heat but they are all sitting their again today. do your girls have a favorite spot in the garden/run?

The Dogmother Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Mine are usually to be found anywhere that is sunny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsCube Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Looking at that actaully I think they might be trying to watch the TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I put a nice solid wooden chair in the hen pen,with the thought that I could sit there & watch them. Lily, my Whitestar,has other ideas. As for as she is concerned it is HER chair & anyone who goes near it gets her special evil eye treatment. Actually,it is so covered in poo that I couldn't site on it if I wanted to anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 If they're anything like mine they prolly sit there cus it's as close to you and the possibility of food as they can get. Hilda lurks at the closest fence edge to the house so she can pounce on me as soon as I come out. In fact she dug a dust bath there the other day, which promptly filled up with rain, resulting in me struggling down the garden in the dark with an armful of logs, slipping over in the subsequent mud hole, skidding a couple of meters on my bum and filling both my jeans and pants with mud. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 my lot like to be by the back door. Even though its winter, I still have my back door open all day when im home (I dont put the heating on till nightime) I cant bear to shut the door as I think the chooks think im "shutting them out/ignoring them" So the door stays open and they like to look in the kitchen and see/hear what im doing. They know when its porridge time and tea time....causes quite a commotion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blonde Chicken Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Ours like the vegetable patch! And they have made a dustbath under the trees, we tried to encourage them to do it somewhere else but to no avail Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Once my 3 have had their fun scratching about, they always end up sitting on the garden bench like old women having a gossip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Eddi's fav spot just now is on my crocs - I can't walk anywhere in the garden without tripping over her. She's my new best friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
