Hmmm, have they started to graffiti their chook house yet?

Well it's got so bad now that they are confined to their run for the forseeable future. They peck me constantly, attack the cats, ruin the garden. I take back everything I ever said about them being cute or funny. Now they are just thugs! They were also constantly under my feet over the weekend - has anybody else noticed how they squeak when you tread on them? I couldn't dig anything without constantly having to push a chook out of the way.

Is this thuggish behaviour normal or are they trying to tell me something?

It's normal! That's why I only let mine out of their run once every few weeks, because I can't get a single thing done as they are 'helping' me too much! And there is too much clearing up to be done afterwards, like putting all the soil back in the flowerbeds that has been kicked all over the lawn. :angryfire:

They still give me a giggle though when they are out and about!

Thanks M3, Thanks Nev.

M3, that's exactly what my chooks do. So they, at least, are normal. Shame about their "mum" though.
