    Young chickens avoiding the older ones.

    I was out little later for work today and my wife put everyone back in the run this evening and left the door to the coop open. I was pleasantly surprised to find the little ones in the coop and snuggled up against the older girls keeping warm. It’s a cooler night tonight. My older girl have a...

    Young chickens avoiding the older ones.

    We have four. I don’t think they are keeping them from going I just think their presence of being in there is the issue ha ha. Once they get in there the little snuggle right close to the big girls just in the other side of the mesh.

    Young chickens avoiding the older ones.

    Adding to my flock

    Perfect that is exactly what I’m doing for them right now. I cornered off one corner of our coop with some chicken fence so the big one can see them and not touch. When the big girls are free ranging I was thinking of letting the little one in the run to get some play time outside. Think that...

    How long for laying hens to get settled in ?

    It’s fully caged and enclosed. No roof on the run and there is a hinged door that opens from the outside and stay open till night time. 1X6 rough pine board as a ramp to walk down for them. Not steep at all

    How long for laying hens to get settled in ?

    Great thank you for your response. I think they are coming around I snuck up on the coop and peaked in. I moved the nest box’s to the ground and they have started using them. 3 eggs so far. One is jumping up and down off the roosts so I’m hope the other will follow suit. They still won’t venture...
