    Someone told me strawberry tops are toxic to chickens?????

    Thanks for the original question because I have strawberry tops in the freezer. I'd like to give them some frozen treats during the hot summer months

    Hens not going into coop

    I have the top half of the wall inside the coop that is open. Three of the walls in the coop have openings for ventilation. If I have to I can add a window to the fourth wall.

    Hens not going into coop

    They have not slept in the coop at all. As for ventilation I have the 2 side windows and the gable that's inside the run is completely open. No light as of now in the coop. I just took a reading this morning from the time the pictures were taken and it was 89 *F in the run and 90* F in the coop.

    Hens not going into coop

    I used mealy worms to coax them into the coop but they still wouldn't go in.

    They won't go in the coop!

    Thank you. I have enough ventilation but I will add the light and maybe remove the roost from the run or mount it by the opening of the coop. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    They won't go in the coop!

    Samjo, I'm having the same problems with my hens not sleeping in their coop. Are your hens finally sleeping in their coop with the changes you made?

    Hens not going into coop

    My hens won't even try to go in their coop. The coop is 7' X 8' and their run is 8' X 22'. I don't want to lock them in the coop because of the 90 - 100 degree weather here in South Louisiana. They roost in the run at night and I fine with that but they are 16 weeks old and I would love for them...
