* She pushed under the fencing and roamed out into the street. A vehicle then hit her causing that damage to her shell in the previous picture.
Got it. Man, I'm glad she didn't get killed! Yeah, I wouldn't lay eggs either. I'd be too traumatized. I wouldn't feel like I'm in my comfy zone.

Greg, the pic of the Gallops. Is there more fencing there we can't see? Because the fencing we can see, wow, does not look very sturdy to hole them in at all.
Man, I'm glad she didn't get killed. I wouldn't get fertile either with that trams. I wouldn't be in my comfort zone... know what I mean?

* Yes, that is just a small pen for the colder days allowing them to put them inside the shed for heat during the cold nights. The entire property is surrounded with a heavy duty field type fencing.

* Right, could have been way worse!
sibi said:
* Might be, hard top say. I have no experience with that species!
Tuff in the shade!
Hopie & cousins!

* LOL, yes it is very strong. Each of those poles have about ten bags of concrete, and three nine gauge tension wires on the bottom portion of the chain link fence. All ties and hog rings are steel.
* If you notice the wooded block i built in order to keep the gate from swinging both ways, basically it is impossible for the gate to open only one direction, which was strategically done to open only inside. This was because they would just push on the fence and completely twist the latch opening the gate, LOL.
* Here are some pictures i took today, way better visual of the one way block i made. Works really well and very strong. I have found many of times that simple things work much better!
Hay day, always like the smell of green fresh hay!
ALDABRAMAN said:* I took a picture, see the female on the far left in the picture with the hole in the shell? That is the damage from the crash. This picture is at least three years old. She was actually heeling very nicely.
* Just as a side note, she has laid eggs for the past two years, however no fertility.
Are those above yours? If yes, you should share more of them
