RE: Goodbye Bunnies, Hello rain.
I've bitten the bullet and started constructing an enclosure for our girls. Their constant pecking at the fly screen, penchant for window ledges, poo all over the path; its not worth losing our whole backyard to get 3 eggs a day.
They're going to lose about 90% of their current range, so they won't be happy, but it's still 6 or 7 square metres each, so I'm not the bad guy here.
If they'd just ripped up weeds down the back we wouldn't even be having this conversation; so stop looking at me like that, you have nobody to blame but yourselves.
ISAs seem to much prefer bugs to greens. When we ours, they had the little orange and lemon trees in the run and didn't touch them. The moment I got purebreeds, nothing green survived! I've had to fence the orange until it was big enough to withstand them and the lemon got moved.
I'm sure they'll settle into the new enclosure. They may even appreciate you throwing the weeds in occasionally. It's more interesting when it's a novelty.

Of course now I've started building it, their behaviour has improved remarkably. Makes it very difficult to pull together the motivation to finish.
Haha! They're playing you! When they think you've changed your mind, they'll be back to their old ways.

It's a common story but nonetheless an instructional one. We had to restrict our girls quite severely because of the destruction they rained on the garden. How do they know first thing in the morning exactly which new seedlings were best, or which Lettuce we were going to eat that day? You'll find life a lot easier with them restricted to a good sized run
