Hens having been hiking thru the blackberry bushes...

[ChickenLady2012]

My hens recently started laying eggs in a shrub on front of my house on the manicured part of our property, but noticed as of yestetday they have been exploring the unfence area of our property that's covered with blackberry plants... They crawl pretty far into them and when I go looking I have to call forever for them to come back home... Will they natuarally come "home" to roost.. Should I be worried?

They should come home to roost naturally...if you want to be sure then keep them cooped up for a few day to ensure they know where gome is!

All keeping them cooped up fir a few days will also teach them to lay in your nests...stick a couple golf balls in there so the know thays the designated laying area
