recently put my 8 week old pullets out into the newly completed run (hen hosue enclosed in the run) on Sat. night. I placed them in there the first night just before bed and no problems. It has been fun watching them explore their new surroundings. I have had difficulty getting them back INTO the hen house at night. Either I end up chasing them around the run and placing them in myself, or I wait until after dark and they are roosting on the turkey's 4ft high kennel (which is inside of the run as well).
Either way I am placing them in the hen hosue at night and then closing up the house at night. Double protection form predators.
Can anyone give me advice on how to "train" them to go into the hosue at night? Do you use treats or jsut keep "showing" them where to go until they get a clue.
