Her vision is good normally...she does have a big crest...but she normally doesn't have a problem finding her treats or knowing where I am. Just seems like she is a little disoriented since she didn't sleep with the pile either. Didn't know if it had something to do with her starting to...- ajdeitz

I'm going to figure out a way to get into the run part so i can teach them to go up the ramp...do you recommend when we build the new one to not have ramps? I'm so worried about them being out...- ajdeitz

Hello all! I have another newbie question!! I originally had two silkies that are now 4 months old...they caught on in one night to go up the ramp from the run into the coop and I've had no problems with them since.
