Hello. I am a Chicken Newbie. I bought 2 Buckeyes, 2 Delawares and 2 Plymouths.
I've had them for 3 weeks. No problems with them going in at dark. Usually they would be in before dark. I've been letting them out around 630 in the morning. This morning i went out 630 and 1 of the buckeyes was dead laying beside. the door. I had to remove her before the others would go out.
Tonight I went out to check on them before dark and 4 of them roosted in front of the door and wouldn't go in. I finally got them poked in with a broom handle.Any suggestions on getting them back in their routine?
