Help! I'm housesitting for friends and can't get the hens in the coop

Agreed! I'm impressed and amazed that you took the time and effort to register for this website as the sitter. You GO girl! (gotta assume you're a woman b/c I imagine that asking for help before there's a problem is like asking for directions before you get REALLY lost!)

Thanks. You all have been very nice.

Hopefully they will get in the coop either on there own or one at a time by you. FYI...I would not assume chicken wire would protect from predators. Most can make short work of chicken wire.

Let us know if you were successful. Mine are putting themselves to bed around 7:25 pm these days. Hopefully you won't have to work too hard at it!

Hurray they are in! Magically they just all marched in and are now sitting in a row in their coop--Wow. Good to know the wire is not enough to keep out predators. I found you all by just typing in "how to get chickens in their coop" on google and yours was the first forum that came up. The internet is such a great tool.

Glad they went in for you. You really are a good chicken sitter. I hope if I ever need anyone to sit my chickens they will be as good as you.

Awesome and good job!

Make sure you close them into the coop, assuming they have a closeable chicken door.
