I'm glad your girls liked their taste of freedom--and the bugs and weeds, of course :)<BR/>But now you should be prepared for them to demand to be let out every time they see you!Melanie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044681837284196286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-22066846989651864512007-08-23T19:19:00.000-07:002007-08-23T19:19:00.000-07:00Whew!

I've been lucky with my pullets. While it seem that someone was nesting in the Eglu where they shouldn't be (due to the droppings in the nest), putting a flower pot in there seemed to do the trick. I haven't been able to check inside since late yesterday, but it had worked over the prevous day or two that it was in place. I just let my girls out to free range yesterday for the first time. They absolutely loved the freedom and tasted every green thing they could. I wish I could leave them out all day, but there are too many hazards in an urban environment.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767604828307174133noreply@blogger.com
