My pullets arrived Saturday morning, and I kept them in the hen house to get aquainted with it. Today (Monday) I opened the chicken door for a few hours, but none of the birds ventured into the run. Kind of suprised me, I thought they would have loved to get out..?
They must like the house though as I have already gotten two nice eggs.
One was laid on Saturday just a few hours after moving them in! The breeder told me they probably wouldn't lay for another couple of weeks.. I must have one bird that is a few weeks older than the others. I was told they were about 18 weeks.
I am glad to see they settled down so well already. Be nice to see them out in the run, perhaps I'll try again tommorrow.
