hi everyone,
just got four warrens yesterday. hours drive to get home. went in coop ok let out in run this morning. came out easily. dont like keeping in the small run under coop. how long before i can let them freerange in the garden.

[Aunt Sally]

About 5 days should be OK taximan.  They'll know where home is by then

[taximan]

just had to put feeders hanging on chains, they scratted everything into them. big learning curve.

[Aunt Sally]

 

they aren't the easiers of animals to look after 

[SMD66]

Or the cleverest! 

[Aunt Sally]

They are very clever 

They will soon have you wrapped around their clawy little toes 

[SMD66]

true, and will be begging for treats as soon as they see you.

[grumpydad]

if begging doesnt work, they will start mugging you when you sit out, jumping on your knee to see what you have to eat.
dont go out in a dressing gown, they will have your legs...lol

[SMD66]

Hi Taximan, 
I got my hybrids at the end of June and am amazed at how clever they are well at least one is.  She knows to come peck at the patio door and we come and lift and stroke her if we take some time she goes into the garage and wait till someone appears.  Bird brained she isn't! I agree with Aunt Sally our wee hens are great. x

Or the cleverest! 

my girls are very clever...the cleverest chickens in the land actually
i know everyone thinks that, but mine really are

[taximan]

they are lovely . all go off to bed now. they know when they see the corn on the cob it good trying to kill it before i can hang it up.even dug a dust bath but they,ve filled it in now.so still dont know if their clever yet.
