ok so my chooks have a lovely run ... which whenever they are locked in it and they see movement me cats dog etc. they start pacing up and down like caged lions .... so i go let them out into the garden and what do they do ... sit on the compost heap of the back step till tea time *tuts*

LOL, ours follow me up and down the fence run too - waiting for me to throw them worms or other 'treats'
Happy Gardening,

but they aren't even following me they just see me from the house and assume i going out to feed them then after they've eaten they continue their relentless pacing till i go let them outComment

They learn so quickly don't they? Six weeks ago, mine spent two days 'helping' in the veg garden. Now as soon as I go into the veg garden they line up at the fence and yell at me.
They also run up to the corner of their run and shout for their evening corn whenever I go out the back door, even if it's only mid afternoon. They don't do it in the morning though - who says they're stupid?

Definitely need more friends. Any chook problems can be solved with more chooks.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

It's called imprinting. As you have had them from birth they really do think you are mum, you look after them and feed them, so why not.Originally posted by lynda66 View Post

lol i went into the kitchen to make their tea before,` and they had finally moved to the bottom of the garden, been on back step all day ... anyway i'd only walked in, no noise nothing, next thing phoenix must have spotted me as she came charging up the garden, legs going like something out of a cartoon, wings out and beak open squeaking in excitement , the other 2 flying along behind ....
made their tea and went to go out and phoenix was stood on the windowsill trying to use the window the cats use as a cat flap ..... awwwwww so thats why i bother letting them out
anyway me and sarz are not gonna buy any chooks when we go to the poultry auction on 30th, cos it might be a bit dodgy taking them on the train *nods*

The train is a poor excuse for not getting any more chickens, I have to take mine on the bus to the vets, no problem... all my animals have to get used to public transport pdq.
Go on you know you want to...

yeah but it'll be well over an hour on the train, and draughty stations, and i only have a cat basket and it will only fit a couple in, don't think they'll be impressed with my shopping trolleyComment
