You have a point, Ruby would request a shower door too, probably one that's curved since the world does revolve around her...so she thinks.

Pretty funny.

I recently put up curtains... and my hens actually do seem to like it better. Even had one girl who has refused to lay in the boxes forever suddenly start using the boxes!

I left gaps for them to see out. And I mostly just used old towels with the most colorful side facing into the box since chickens actually see much more color than we do. And I just stapled them to the wood frame. It isn't pretty, but it works. I did see some ruffly curtains that would look cute, but I really don't see myself cleaning them either. So when it comes time and these ones get to gross, I might just dispose of them and replace with yet more old towel strips.

Ruby sounds like a great name... pics?!

ETA: no poo smears on the curtains so far.

Woohoo the girl will eventually have curtains if they stay clean at least a few days.

Yes, your girl is cute... but so is the kid with that big beautiful smile!

 

[sassysarah]

Yes! He is way more cute!

Thank you! She is definitely spoiled and if she sees one of the others close to me she comes a running and scares them away, she is such a jealous little thing.
