My hens are about 5 months old and have alway been very friendly. Well, not very friendly, but if they're out in the yard they'll come running up to me, and they'll approach and eat out of my hand in the pen after a minute of checking me out.
Last week an opossum got into their pen. It scared...
I cannot understand how my chickens are getting out!!
They are in an old dog run- surrounded by chain link that is 8' tall and sunk into the ground. There's a dog house in the middle of it (going to convert into a proper coop very soon! They aren't laying yet so it has been adequate for now)...
