Ginger was a up a tree again this evening, but I was smarter than last night. I went in and had dinner, came out an hour later when she was deep asleep, and caught her with ease. I should have done that last night instead of chasing her higher into the tree while she was still half awake.

Glad you got her inside

We have a couple large owls that hang out around our pastures in the evening, ALL of our girls must be at least in the run if not in the coop. Usually I goo out just before it gets dark, and they are all already inside the coop and have claimed their spot on the roost for the evening.

I may have to keep the big girls in their little run for a few days if Ginger doesn't "straighten up and fly right" back into the coop at night. The girls won't be happy if I have to do that.

Welcome to the newbies.

Nothing beats having dinner first. Seriously. Nicely done. I'd still be chasing the dang chicken around the backyard at dusk..
Glad you caught her...

I wonder if they will correct one another when out of line. Our girls seem to run in cliques when out foraging. Stuck up easter eggers!

My barns are awfully damp and my outside pens wet from tarps damaged in the ice. What do you people like as a drying agent? I've been using hydrated lyme-hate how it feels on my hands ( and lungs) if I forget my mask and gloves which, I always do. I need to dry things out for my poor Polish. They can't take the wet. Some of those crests are toast until the next molt.

Now I am sure you know way more than me but ...... I figure if it bothers me to handle or breath it then I should probably not use it for my birds. Are you trying to make a dryer floor for them to walk on or are you trying to get rid of moisture content in the coop/run? If just trying to soak up water I know some people use wood pellets either the ones for burning in stove or the ones for stall bedding. They take a while but will suck up a lot of water. Then scoop out and dispose.
