UPDATE! They went in on their own tonight. I think a combo of turning lights on and getting rid of that front lip they were sleeping on originally might have done it!
Oh it does but what I’m saying is when we pick them up and get put into the coop they try to come back out like hey we found spots already out in the run. So my wife has to block the door with her hand so we can get them each caught and put in. That door takes its sweet time opening and closing...
I’ll have to leave them locked in the coop for a day and maybe figure out the construction, maybe cut a few boards inside off so it’s not as high. Either that or go back to locking them in the coop a few days more, especially now that I fixed that front ledge and they spent the night on the bar...
I live on east coast ct to be exact so darkness is coming around 730 and pitch by almost 8. Especially with where the coop is located it gets darker in that part of the yard quicker. The issue with the run is it’s made of all pallets so they can quite literally roost EVERYWHERE LOL. I’ve been...
Yea it gets dark about that time.
Especially with there run being fully covered it is definetly a tiny bit darker in there. Plus where the coop is located it’s the spot of the yard that gets the sun off it first.
This was my solution for the issue.
Hey everyone! So I’ve got a question and need a solution. Maybe two questions lol. Who am I kidding I’m full of them that’s why I’m here!
My first issue is my girls who are 8 weeks old at night don’t seem to want to go back in the coop from the run. My wife and I have had to put them in there...
