Also a very good idea! I hadn't thought of that!stay with them when it is sunset and you will see. I had to rehome fayoumis because I was sick and tired of chasing them every day.
You're a day early kings day is on 27 of april, but if it's free market it starts around here on the 26 at 11 pm.@Erba
What I tried and worked for me, depending on the reason why
On the 26 april (kings day) and 5 may (liberation day) there are festivities in lots of places in the NL (if there are no covid restrictions).
- Keep them locked up for a few days (wanting to breed somewhere outside )
- Feed some scratch in the run, just before sunset or whenever you lock them in (training to return for a snack)
- Watch them before sunset (tip from chickengr) to see where they sleep and be able to catch them.
- Make a second coop where the young ones can sleep (to prevent bullying)
do you just have Orpingtons or do you have other breeds as well. My neighbor is breeding Orpingtons and they hardly ever fly. I am just guessing because of your name.I have the same problem, been 3 months now, and every evening I have to get them down off the trees before it gets too dark and then they won’t come down anymore the only thing is tio get them not too early, or they will fly up again, and not too late, cos then they can’t see and will totally refuse to leave the tree. I hat selling my chickens, but I am so fed up I am thinking about it
