well i was down the lotty today and let Gert and Lil out to play and when it started to get dark Gert went back in the house no problem and i thought Lil would do the same but oooooooooh no she just would not go in tried to encourage her with titbits but she refused and i spent ages trying to lure her back in ::) ::). i ended up running after her and fell over in the process (not funny) i didn't hurt myself but by golly i was close to breaking point!!! i tried leaving a trail of corn that didn't work i tried shooing that didn't work then just as i was about to call for help (hubby wouldn't of been pleased) she just went in on her own ::) how do you lot get your hens to go back in as i don't want to go through that very often?? i must of looked a sight running up and down trying to get Lil in thank god one was about but now I'm home i can see the funny side to it lol
If they normally go into their house without a problem you may find that there is an infestation of red mite. If this is their first time out they should get better at going to bed.
I have sent you a pm
