@msolga,
farmerman has me spooked.
they were verra noisy at first when I put them in the chicken pen.'
after dinner, I went out to check on them and they were gone...
I called and whistled and made goat noises (I make very good goat noises, thankyouverymuch) but nothing.
so I got a ladder and a bucket, and gingerly scaled the fence (I have to build a gate yet) with my flashlight to see if they had escaped silently and tried to travel the 65 miles back from whence they came.
they were huddled in the corner of the hen house, bedded down for the night.
I hope they are not morning people. this could be hard on my sleeping habits...
and thank you.
