That is funny that you have to throw sticks at her. I suppose she is regressing back to her jungle nature.

I am glad to know I am not the only one with errant hens. Well, Barb has some escapees.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-80765015013345257962013-01-20T07:45:35.521-06:002013-01-20T07:45:35.521-06:00Our chickens have perfectly wonderful places to sl...Our chickens have perfectly wonderful places to sleep and yet a few of them exit the pens by flying through the tops on occasion. I have had damage to a comb through fights with other animals, but never had a lost comb to freezing here.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-18858510446956081762013-01-19T19:42:05.027-06:002013-01-19T19:42:05.027-06:00No comb loss, even though we're in the 20s dur...No comb loss, even though we're in the 20s during winter, and can drop to 9deg or so at the lowest temps. We do have one stupid hen that loves to roost WAAAAY up in a tree, playing chicken (no pun intended) with the local owls. The only way to get her down is by throwing sticks at her, which only sometimes works. She's wiley.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769150016495656772noreply@blogger.com
