Operation chicken rehoming is accomplished. I got the call from our daughter that they had gone to ‘bed’ & set off the 1 mile to her house, to get caught in the rush hour traffic. Finally arriving & being dispatched down the garden to do the deed, I found I needed an extra pair of hands to hold the nest box lid up , so daughter came to help, I held the lid up & she wrenched them out as those that perch on the lip of the nest box put up a bit of a fight lol. On our way, I collected hubby to help & protect me in the dark at the plot. With a bit of squeaking we got them in, all was fine until one fell of the perch & decided to take a look out of the pophole 😱. We came out & left them to calm down & see if she found her way back in but after 5 minutes we were getting cold so with the help of a torch I managed to grab her & put her back in & held her on the perch until she got her balance, I hope they don’t move into the nest box but I had to leave it uncovered so they can get in there in the morning if needed. I suppose I’ll know if there’s no poop in there when I go to check on them.
