They will no doubt be dropping off laying now anyway (If they were laying in the first place). Are they young birds then? I did abit of work on our pen the other day and they didn't bother at all.

maty j 6 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Good job mate. I've just hatched a few chicks and have been meshing the door to stop the magpies getting a look in and the broody and chicks didn't mind at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
