it was a photo op, they stay in their brooder most of the time but the feathered ones like to jump out and roam around the garage:eek:, I make sure they get back in safely.
my dog is very anxious and scared of everything, when they were chicks he was scared of them! Three months later, he built up the courage as he got older to try to attack the nicest one, he failed though, thankfully, and was scared off by our rooster
We have our girls in the garage and keep it closed all day because we have almost no room inside the house for them. My dog doesn't know about the chicks, and i don't want him too because he tried to eat one of my hens!
Aww, that's sooooo cute :rolleyes: mine is like uh oh :eek: when i find her and she jumps back in. She is an Araucana so she is very flighty, once i found her sister completely outside of the brooder!
oops sorry I didn't notice your post, great idea! one of my chicks keep jumping to the edge of the brooder (the edge is about 4 inches thick) and she just sits up there! I think she thinks it is her roost.
