no this is not their permanant residence, I found the two of them this morning in the back of the chicken house, and stuck them in there so I can treat them. They live in a huge chicken run that we built with hardwood floors, with fresh shavings down on the floor, then they go through this 3by3 hole in the back of the run into a room that also has fresh shavings. And thats where they sleep and where I foun these two this morning. I now have put fresh hay in thier pen where they are staying now to keep them worm. And i'll have to try giving them some yogurt, I bet they will like that. Thanks for everybodys help
