Hi, I have 6 hens (3 Buff Barred Rocks and 3 Iowa Blues). I was told when I purchased them they were hatched in March or April.....I just got them a week ago. I've noticed they do not go into their hen house. They stay in the basement of the hen house or in the large enclosure I have the coops in. I know they go up in the hen house because I see poop in there, but they don't spend much time in there at all. As they get closer to laying age will they then spend more time inside the house? The next boxes are in there and there is a place for them to roost inside as well.
Thanks for the help.
