Halloween and bonfire night looming, and I've already heard a couple of booms/bangs in the distance....just wondered how folk went on with their chooks, and how the chooks cope with the never ending banging...is there anything i should be doing for them, apart from stringing up those folk that have to let fireworks off two weeks prior and two weeks after...its always a nightmare time for me, as one of my dogs is terrified of all the noise....just wondering now, how my girls will go on when they're outside.

Hi
As far as I know the hens don't seem to notice the fireworks once they are tucked up and asleep in their coop

Thats a relief then.....had visions of me having to go sit with them in the coop, alongwith my pooch!!!  Thankyou.

I have close neighbours who like fireworks and each year my girls have not been bothered, I went out to check on them and a firework exploded in sky above the coop and they paid no attention.

If you can put the coop so they don't see all the flashing lights that should help.

our hens are ok with fireworks. The dog was a different story. He hated the bangs and was terrified

Chooks sleep through them, dogs bark incessantly everytime one goes off!
