Help!! My hens are digging a hole at the bottom of the fence which sits under a pine tree where there is no grass and looser dirt. As you can see in the picture they are making a hole that will get them outside of their run.
Why are they doing this??? I'm very concerned they are going to dig a hole big enough to get out.
Their run is a nice size for 4 hens so it is not an issue of being crowded. I live in the country with a big yard and long driveway. Should I let them get out if they choose?? I have only had them a little over a week and they are adjusting very well. No other problems at all.
