They learn so fast

[Reg]

I have had the girls for 6 weeks now. I started by shutting them in the coop at night & letting them out at 6.15 am before i went to work.

Trouble was a weekends i lay in bed knowing they were walking around the coop saying where is he.

So I had to get up at 6.15 on Sat & Sun to let them out.

This was not restful at all, so i started to leave the coop door open at night.

I waited until they went to bed then changed their water, topped up the corn / Pellets & put out the scraps tray.

All went well for a week or so, then one night i had finished putting out their food & was walking back to my house when i heard a thud, then scratching on the coop ladder.

Yep the girls had learned what i do & waited until i went in doors before coming down to eat their breakfast at bedtime.

I now play a sneak up without them hearing me game so they don't come down. well i dont think they come down

Worse that kids keeping hens

Very pretty coop! And, yes, they are clever little so-and-sos, aren't they? Especially if it means more food, sooner...
