Hi All,
Has anyone had a particularly demanding hen... one that starts making a low growling ...bbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrkkkkk brrrrkkk brrrrkkk brkkkk at 5am in the morning until you let it out? One that refuses to use the automatic feeder (ok, so maybe it's just stupid), one that repeatedly hurls itself at the door of the coop when it hears you come home?? The coop is a decent size about 9' square and 6' high with only the two of them in it (for now), with plenty of ventilation as it's warm here.
The noise is the worst part - this morning I was running across the back yard to let her out of the coop at 5.30am wearing my PJ's before she woke the neighbours!! I hate letting her get her own way - but it's the only way to shut her up!
