wild birds. Although our chickens are 'securely' enclosed there has been the occasional wild bird that has got into the run and then got itself out again after a short period of time. Firstly we had a Wagtail get in and after 3 days it was still in there, then it was joined by another Wagtail and th...

Quite often thought about it, but never quite got round to doing it.
We do have a wood store/logs that the previous owners left which is outside and never been touched in the 5.5yrs we have been here, so possibly something could be going on there that I have missed. May have a look another day.
