I have 6 ex-battery hens and one cockerel who all happily graze the garden throughout the day.
They use the coop to lay eggs but spend 90% of time outside.
I keep reading posts on well-behaved chickens who put themselves to bed, but I often have quite a task on my hands, ushering them out of bushes and picking up the more stubborn ones.
There is one good girl who I will often find perched up and ready to sleep.
Are there any tips on getting them into the coop by themselves or at least with less hassle? Even shaking the food container doesn’t work anymore!
