    Bringing home Pullets on day 1...what to do?

    I should have included that info. 🤦🏼‍♀️ The light is on a timer and does go off around 30 after the door closes (run chicken auto door). The first morning we had to take them out of the coop and put them in the run but they have done it themselves since then. So they have one way down.

    6 pullets - 2 each black copper marans, sky eggers and cross back olive eggers. The coop is 4'x8' with plenty of ventilation. Yes the coop is dark inside at night that's why I added the nightlight. I'm in southern California... During the day it's mid to high 70s, at night low to mid 50s...

    Bringing home Pullets on day 1...what to do?

    We have had our 8 week old hens for almost a week now and they still aren't going in on their own. I did add a night light to the inside the coop. I did not close them inside the coop when we brought them home. Maybe it'll take a bit longer? Or should I shut them in there now?
