What did this?

[The head hen]

Same here. I went out to busy myself with chores so the girls could stretch out their wings. Took a minute to coax them out and then only a few remained out the whole time. I cannot remember the last time they didn’t free range all day. I’ll change up the routine for a bit and hope the hawk moves on. I’ll do the same for you.

Yes, back to varying times for free ranging for a while. Airsoft guns work really well at starting the boogers off for a while!
