In the Brooder
I hope this is the correct place for this. I have a 4' X 8' coop for 14 chickens that are 8 weeks old. Once I moved the chickens to the coop, I followed advice and left them closed in for almost two weeks before ever letting them into the 8' X 12' run. Once we allowed them into the run, they never wanted to go back into the coop! I was having to corral chickens to catch them and put them back. I finally found that turning on a white light at dusk would bring them in! Once in, I lock them up and turn off the light. Will I have to have a light in my coop forever? I do not have electricity in my coop so am having to run a very long extension.
