I appreciate your help. I am not sure about actual size of coop but I just uploaded some pics. I will put the outside sleepers in the coop today just so I can say they've been there, thank you for that advice. And yes, food and water are in the run so up until now, she has had no reason to go...

Thanks for your response! I have six pullets ranging 17-18 weeks old. I brooded them inside for the first 7-8 weeks. They've been out with the three "established" resident hens for about 10 weeks now. So 9 hens total. Coop is always open and attached to secure run which is locked at night...

I know this is a year later, but I'm experiencing something similar now with new layers who also choose to sleep on a roost in the run and just started laying in the yard where they free range. The older ladies all lay in the nesting boxes in the coop, but most of the new ladies never even go...

They are 17 weeks. Don't Rhode Island reds have pretty red combs? These have barely any comb to speak of. Or do the combs delevop later? Thanks for helping out a novice!

Looking at the two brownish-red hens. I think they are sisters but I'm not certain. I do not know the breed. The one sitting down in the first photo has more of a black beak. Have trouble getting a good photo of her as she is more skiddish. She is also in the front in the 2nd photo with my...

I think the black one is an Australorp and is the brown on an Ameraucana? Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone. I'm cross-posting this from my "new member introduction post", as I hope to get some answers here. I have been looking at this site for answers to my questions since I got my hens a month ago and it has been extremely helpful. I already know some things I have done wrong, so...
