OKAY.
So I have 8 beautiful, happy, golden comet pullets. They're all quite comfortable around us and don't seem to mind being handled too much. They were raised in the house, and put in their coop around 4/5 weeks old.
Until they were 10 weeks old, I had to put them out into their run every day, and then put them up at night. I would place them on their roosts at night, now they will go up by themselves as soon as it's dark and roost all by themselves! Woo!
Here's the thing. They still won't come outside on their own! I have to round them up and shoo them out the coop door every morning!
They seem to really enjoy their run, lots of nice treats and water and food for them out there, they ADORE their new dust bath, and they have lots of places to hide and jump around like the silly little chickens they are. So if they enjoy the outdoors so much, why won't they come out in the mornings yet will return to roost at night?
