My chickens dig the worst holes! Is that common? my golden comets never did this,but my australorps are hole-digging maniacs! they have dug a hole so deep that they can get UNDER the coop now. I swear the hole and trench they made is a foot deep and 3 feet under the coop, which is actually an old shed sitting on the ground, not up on stilts like some of the high-class REAL coops, lol. But they have been diligently digging and 6 hens have made that much progress in just a day and a half. The only hole I ever saw a comet dig was when they free ranged in the winter. they would dig down through the snow to get to the grass underneath.
Is it because theyre hot? ...Maybe my comets dont get so hot because they are more a buff/reddish color as opposed to the BLACK aussies? Its been in the mid 90s with lots of humidity here lately. the aussies are all under the shed/coop now, and the comets are not interested, just happy in the chicken yard pecking at grasshoppers
