    My chickens don't want to go into their coop at night

    The only reason why I wouldn't want to use treats to get then in the coop is only because I don't want them to get used to it. But if this goes on for much longer I might just use the treats. And yes I thought the temp was a bit warm. And I do have a flag so I might put that on the bbq. And...

    My chickens don't want to go into their coop at night

    their coop is 16 square feet, they free range in my yard during the day. so they pretty much only go in there to get out of the sun for a while (there is plenty of cover in my backyard for shade) and mostly for sleep.

    My chickens don't want to go into their coop at night

    Well tonight I didn't have to physically out them in they went in on thier own while I was standing next to their coop door. And I did it at just before dusk so there was a bit of light and I will have to try to find a way to keep them away from that bbq. And hopefully this is just some goofy...

    My chickens don't want to go into their coop at night

    i just looked no combs to speak of. not even a bump. its pretty flat, idk if this makes a difference in the prediction. its also worth noting that they are almost 3 weeks old.

    mystery chicken

    I will definately take all those these into consideration. And more if there are any. But my personal opinion I think it has the potential to at the very least, be a very pretty bird.
