    Chickens suddenly won’t go in coop at night?

    I have been catching them sleeping in the nesting boxes so you could be right. These are the best pictures I have of the inside I believe. I’m not sure how I could add more roosting space because it’s not a huge space. This coop said it held 8-10 chickens but I was veryyy cautious about that so...

    Chickens suddenly won’t go in coop at night?

    Hello! So I’m wondering if anyone has ideas on this. Tonight I went out to close the coop up and three of my four chickens were roosting on my deck. The fourth was in the coop as usual by itself. They all have consistently always put themselves to sleep at night. Only one time two weeks ago I...

    7 week old chick has long upper beak

    Thank you!🙂 That’s a great idea. I will definitely add a rock in there for them. I’ve been trying to find a few things to play with and enjoy in their run. I honestly have no idea why I haven’t let them free range without my eye on them yet! Maybe just because I thought they were still a bit...

    7 week old chick has long upper beak

    Thank you for the info! Yes, they were just moved from the brooder to the coop about a week ago. I let them free range for a few hours during the day when I’m watching them. If not then they are in their run with construction sand at the bottom. They eat from a feeder I got at Tractor supply...

    Chickens trying to escape coop

    Yes, it’s a brand new coop! Here is a photo below. I put them in the enclosed part at night time and let them out into the sun during the day. I also will let them free range but only a short time and with me watching right now.

    Chickens trying to escape coop

    I wondered if it possibly had to do with being scared. We had a HUGE monsoon of a storm the night before with lightning and thunder. They were inside the coop but again, the vent was open and it was completely outdoors. It was only their second night outside the brooder. Totally dark. So I was...

    Chickens trying to escape coop

    Okay so I just got 4 - 6week old hens. Three brahmas and a brown ISA. They are in the big coop now with food, water, and bedding. The problem is that they keep trying to obsessively escape the coop when I put them up at night. They crawl up my arm, fly at the door, climb on top of each other to...
