Practising Survival Skills
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 7:15 pm
Just thought I'd share:
One of our "brave" little red hens practised some survival skills this past Friday night.
Of course, we did not find this out until the next morning.
After letting them out to free range for the afternoon, like we do almost everyday, it was time to herd the hens back into their enclosure at around 5 - 5:30 pm. They know the routine and the cues.
And after counting 4 or 5 times, I was sure they were all in. (They do move around a lot.)
The next morning, DH was putting out their feed while inside the enclosure, and he noticed movement on the other side of the fence.
Needless to say, the hen did not need any redirection to get through the opened door, safe and sound!
