I have a question about part time free ranging. I've got the plans for a coop that has a run built onto it but I'd like to be able to let them out while we're in the back yard etc. Do they naturally learn to go back inside or how does this work?
I let mine out the first time about 30 min before they usually go to sleep. They stayed pretty close to the coop. All I had to do was call them and they followed me in. They have always just went right in about the same time. They learn pretty fast!
