Hi everyone
I've had my buffs for about a week now and the last two days I have let them out to free range. They did well the first evening and went to roost no problem. Then the second day I opened the barn to let them do the same and they hid in the corner of the barn all day. I was confused and tried to coax them out. I managed to coax them out to eat and walk around the barn but soon as I left they were back in the corner. All the while the doors were open for them to be free to roam. About 7 in the evening, they came out of hiding and finally came outside to forge like the night before. Then about close to nine went back to roost for the night. I'm confused with the behavior! Why are they hiding all day! And coming out only in the evening?
