Chicks won't go outside

[chickens really]

Hello....Don't get too frustrated...Just give them that option to venture out if they chose too?...If they are happy staying in?...Then they are happy ...Just leave the door open and let them do their thing...Best of luck...

...I butchered 3 cockerels from the first batch...That batch of chicks never went outside... I know they know how to use the door because they had no trouble finding it to go back inside and the older birds go in and out all day...

I'll be butchering the remaining 14 week EE cockerel this weekend so the lone pullet will be on her own. I'm hoping it will force her to bond more with the older birds but she may also start hanging out with the younger chicks....
