Confined

March 1, 2008

Hens in the run Today at 12:30pm the chicken run was finished and the hens were closed in. Much to their annoyance, I might add. They spent quit some time exploring possible exits. Even flying up on the hutch and trying to get to the outside from there. Unfortunately the setup is fool proof, so there’s no escaping the run. The remainder of the afternoon you could hear them busy clucking about probably wondering why they can’t get out.

It remains to be seen whether this has any impact on their layers capabilities. The run is roughly 4×4 meters, which is not too confined. We’re already enjoying a reclaimed patio area with no poops scattered around. An added bonus is that we can send out Jingles for his toilet stops without any worries for the hens…
