I'm kind of in the same "coup" as you. My three hear the door squeak open and they smash their bodies against the door to be let out to free range. My RIR Gretta was going in and out of the coup. They usually don't bother going in the coup when it is 95 degrees outside, but today yes. I am...
My Gretta (RIR) squatted today! I actually got to pet her while she squatted. I read where it is good to scratch her back firmly is a good thing. I'm hoping my first egg will be this weekend.
