thanks to both of you for you quick replies and good suggestions. I really hadn't thought it should take so long (hey I'm pretty new to all of this). new girl is standing up for herself pretty well, she's not very submissive. I didn't know if this would get it worked out faster or make it take...

We figured she was pretty much quarantined since she's been living on her own for several weeks and isn't sick. The coop has pvc coated wire sides (strongly stapled) and an 18" dig guard. We typically leave the small door from the coop into the run open all the time. Should we be shutting that...

Hi, new to this very helpful forum. I have four pullets, about 22 weeks old. Two of them have started laying, but they both lay on the floor of the coop (pine shavings) instead of in the nesting boxes. the boxes are lined with straw, have fake eggs in, and have 'curtains' to help make them...
