I could have let them be and they would most likely have made their way back. But, the Clover is so attached to them, I couldn't risk losing one (even Pecky who is mean).Frau M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09849486895019554304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369221515370487135.post-20628725396832781742011-09-23T17:54:19.777-05:002011-09-23T17:54:19.777-05:00I'm surprised they don't go back to their ...I'm surprised they don't go back to their pen to roost at night. Ours are free-range chickens and they go to their chicken mansion (yep, my hubby built them a chicken mansion) for bedtime. Our big problem is keeping the dogs from rolling in or eating the "chicken ice cream" as my daddy says. :)Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06340972326847556980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369221515370487135.post-8054901238960539462011-09-22T20:52:56.754-05:002011-09-22T20:52:56.754-05:00We have a couple of rouge chickens that have escap...We have a couple of rouge chickens that have escaped their pen. Luckily the dogs don't bother them and they stay close to the house. I laugh every morning whe the one chicken tries to come into the house when I let the dogs in. Good luck with the crazy chickens!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316414969705949993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369221515370487135.post-79747266950131056312011-09-22T18:17:30.774-05:002011-09-22T18:17:30.774-05:00We just had little chicks for a couple of months i...We just had little chicks for a couple of months in the spring and when they would escape it would drive me insane. I was not at all capable of catching them. I can't imagine full grown chickens escaping across more than one yard! Good luck with that.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725549451973770515noreply@blogger.com
