Clucky's New Flock Adventures

[cluckmecoop7]

It's starting to get dark. I'm excited to see if they know how to get into the coop. They've been going in and out all day so I'm pretty sure they have it figured out.

Also, if you're new and planning to follow along- please reply to this thread so I know you're lurking. Thanks

Do you think the chickens will go into the coop?

Sure they will if they’re used to it already.

This will be their second night sleeping in it, but their first night figuring out they have to go inside to go to sleep.

They didn't figure it out. But all I had to do was shine a flashlight inside the coop and they saw the light and came in.

The white chicken is the very bottom of the pecking order and I noticed she had some blood on her face while they were going to bed. Is this ok and should I ignore it?

If it's bleeding, you can just use a paper towel to wipe it up. Other than that, I usually leave it.

Well so much for me trying to sound like I actually know something about chickens.

Okay. Has this happened in your flock before?

Yes. Often. It's normal pecking order problems. I would check around the fencing and everything though because she could of cut herself on that trying to escape.
