About a week ago, my #ducks were spooked by a circling red kite, and promptly dashed into their house. They only emerged when I went out to do some gardening (apparently they think I’m enough protection to keep hunters at bay).

Ever since, they’ve been spending a lot of time in there if I’m not outside with them, to the extent that I’ve been having to skip out their bedding twice a day. I’m sure it can’t be helping with the egg production, either, although that was already dropping off with the shorter days.

Short of shutting the door to keep them out, I’m not sure there’s anything I can do.
