I was so worried a fox would get them I got them trained to my way of thinking. I.E. I put food in their hopper about 4 o'clock and as soon as they were pecking away would go round and shut the door then put a block of stone and two bricks over it to prevent the latches being knocked down and the door being forced open by a fox.<BR/><BR/>This was then followed with removing a breeze block from a large heavy gate and pushing the gate back to form a blockade at the other end of the barn where the hens are kept.<BR/><BR/>The breeze block is then placed against that heavy metal door to prevent the wind or fox opening the gate and frightening the hens to death.<BR/><BR/>Each time I have stayed I have always asked my boss how many hens there are to watch over as in the dark I could not see so had to take a torch with me.<BR/><BR/>You are so right they are individuals.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes.<BR/><BR/>FeexFeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621613076109734121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424135665853432735.post-23976499273728047902009-01-27T09:23:00.000-08:002009-01-27T09:23:00.000-08:00I'm disappointed.
