Fear induced peeing
So, I've started letting Harry and Sabrina into the garden.
Both are still very nervous of going out (at their last home they were locked outside 24/7, were starving and covered in fleas).
We want them to have garden access, but are taking it very very slowly, leaving the door open and letting them do it on their own terms, giving them lots of love when they come back in to show that we do love them and want them.
It's been going Ok, however, if the chickens start to make a noise (we are keeping them confined to their runs during this initial time of letting the cats out), Harry runs back in terrified and pees in the Utility room.
I have a feliway diffuser, but are there any other tips you could give for building Harry's confidence, because the chickens aren't going anywhere and in time when they have garden access, the chickens will be out.
