I went through and added straw to all 51 pens. One by one as soon as the straw hits the ground they come off the roost. I hate seeing them just sitting there. Good to get em moving. I throw scratch in the straw to get em moving a little more too.

I rounded up about 10 pullets and stuck em in my coops but they all came out and went up to the trees except a leiper hen that's been loose for over a year. She sleeps in the coop at night when it's cold.

Yep. Do not trust them if birds are well away from trees. For me the mean bad things when on ground. Dead kid or lamb, or maybe a fish kill.

kids and lambs dang

Are these some of your free range? Do they roost inside the fence or outside in the trees?

I got about 1/2 a bale left. Trying to use it for emergencies only. Next weekend I'll get some more

I was talking with a friend the other day about Black Headed Vultures. He said they are becoming a problem around here because they go after new born calves and lambs. Seems like a learned behavior.
