Hello all,
On Sunday I picked up 5 hens about a year and half old. I recently built a new coop and they are settling in nicely. My goal is to keep the girls free range as they were at their last home. But, I've been told that I need to keep them in their coop until the understand that it is home to them. No one has told me how long though!!!! I really want to get them familiar with the yard and I also have one pullet that I want them to get used to but they wont have interaction until they can roam free. Please help! They've been in their for two and a half days now. How much longer?
Thanks!
Chase
