Chicken Tips?
13 years ago
So I'm house sitting for a family friend. This includes the care of their 13 chickens.
They're easy enough to feed and water, the only issue is getting them all back in their coops when they come out or inevitably slip out while I'm taking care of their food/water.
They get a fair bit of outside time in the evenings before sundown, but this morning, a whopping 8 of them slipped past me. Through lures or reflexes, I've managed to get all of them but one back in. This last hen is being difficult and is okay to stay out, but I can't just leave her out all day.
Any tips as far as keeping them confined/getting them from one place to another?
