i somehow acquired 2 runaways and i have questions. please help

[pollipazzi]

also if i stand outside the run to let them in, they won't go in. but if i stand inside the run, they run out when i try to get back out.
if it wasn't happening to me, it would be hilarious.

there are these two magpies that have been having a great time trying to annoy the chickens. they come around almost every day.
thelma learned to peck the hwc to make a noise that makes them jump back. but look how unphased thelma and louise are

That’s a neat trick she learned.
Also a lovely view of your set-up. Looks good!

i try to alternate treats so they don't get too much of one thing.

the problem i have if thelma goes in and i close the door to go get louise...
is then louise runs away from the door opening and thelma will run out the door as soon as it opens.
it's a dirty trick!

This is where rabbit fences are convenient.
