Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

Glais will put an end to such nonsense!

We shall see.
What Glais has got to do is get the hens to like him. Nature taking it's course often isn't any hen or rooster/cockerel will do. The little feckers have preferences, even when it comes to the most gorgeous looking feather displays.
He's got to want to live there. At his age he'll make the top of the fence easily from the coop or the shade box.
He's going to have to work out that although I'm not the hens rooster they will act as if I am. He's then got to decide whether I'm threat or an asset.
He is going to have to learn to deal with confinement and this may be the most difficult thing for him to achieve. I'm hoping the two to three hours a day they get out and having his own hens will be enough compensation.
