Well that could have ended badly had it been a hotter day. When locking the chooks in the run this morning I asked my son to lock the nest box. I meant the outside flap as we have a broodie in there and if a dog came round didn't want it able to push the flap up.
He thought I meant the door inside and so poor Carl spent all day locked in the nest box with no water and the others spent the day locked out of the nest box. Thank goodness we didn't have the high 30's temperatures we've been getting today.
I'm surprised though that the others just laid no eggs. I would have expected to find some on the coop floor?
Lucky escape there Appps.
