Running hens
« on: November 08, 2016, 19:15 »
Been watching the hens in the new run which by the way is over 6ft high without a roof due to its size
Why do hens sometimes for NO reason duck there head and run?? The 1st time I saw them do it I looked up to see if a hawk or something was spooking them but nothing there. Apparently it's common for chickens to do it and comical to watch
Does anyone know why they do it as I am just curious to know

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

Mine usually do this when they see me with something in my hands :lol:

They are aways expecting a grape or some blueberries :D. If I get my eggs then they get some ;)
