Title: cant teach old dogs new tricks?
Post by: Aidy on March 11, 2018, 19:49
Well old hens anyway  :lol:
So getting the new hens to go into the coop and and roost has been a little testing however tonight we had success.
The funny thing is tho, old Bailey (mother hen) now waits for all the young ones are in before she goes herself and I noticed tonight they have taught her to roost  :unsure:
Bailey is 4 years old and has never roosted on the roost, in the early days I put her on but before long she would jump down and sleep on the floor. I gave up but now she is following the new ones!

She obviously doesn’t want them to think she’s beneath them lol
