Well, we had two twisters rip our neighborhood in half about a week ago. A branch from our silver maple, bigger than our truck, crushed our coop. I walked- no RAN- down there to see the damage....and there they where..... Next to the destruction site..... Eating.
So thank goodness we didn't loose any. Apparently, they where in the cage/coop when the branch fell and it somehow turned over and crushed w/o harming the crew...
When they saw me, they turned and casually walked up to me. I grabbed their butts ( some of them where rather heavy!) and put them in a small cage on the porch--which they where not pleased with at all-- and we're now working on getting that branch off their home.
You'd think they'd learn, but it's been raining and they just walk around in the downpour
.
Anybody had anything like this happen? And how do I get them to get under shelter when it's storming??
