I don't know what has got into Lily and Milly.
They seem to be taking it in turns to be Little Madams, and are refusing to go in the run in the evening. I've tried persuading them, coercing them, chasing them... I've also tried leaving them out until it starts to get dark.
DH took charge this evening, after I'd spent 10 minutes (in the freezing cold) trying to convince Lily that she wanted to go in, left her for 15 minutes, then chased her round and round the hen house. He would show me How It Was Done.
Eventually, when I managed to stop chuckling, I went out to help him.
We got her in, eventually.
These two are so skittish now they are not laying. Little Madams.
