I have 6 week pullets that are in the brooder inside the coop. I have 2 escape doors that are always open and the pullets won't leave the brooder. I've had 2 instances where my Spitzhauben and another small hen fit through the escape doors and they mingled peacefully inside the brooder with the pullets. They've been inside the brooder inside the run for 5 weeks so plenty of time for everyone to get used to each other.
I'm leaving for a trip in a week and I'd like to remove the brooder. The heat was removed two weeks ago. Does it happen often that pullets won't leave the brooder? My last batch loved being out of the brooder in the run.
