Our two oegb will come out into the run but our duccle won't what can we do to get her? She won't take millworm

Is she being bullied?
Pics of cop and run, please.
Are there places to 'hide'?
I'd just toss her out there.

Could you show the whole coop and the whole run, and the door where the birds come from the coop out to the run?

How old are they all and how long has this been going on? When did you put them in and when did you open the door to let them out? Are they fully integrated or were they just put together? A short history please.

They will be 11 weeks tomorrow. We just got the run done where they could go in yesterday

They have been in their coop since Monday. And we bought the 3 at the same time so they grew up together

You do come up with some interesting situations. Since they grew up together I'm a little surprised they aren't hanging together.

Chickens often don't like change but they can be adaptable. After they spent four or so days in that coop they are comfortable in there. Some are more adventurous than others. You do this for a while you appreciate chick TV more than anything on cable, satellite, or antenna.

The first time I did something like that it was three days before they left the coop and the last went into the run. It was funny watching them go to the pop door, look out and think about it, and then decide "not yet". Finally one brave cockerel hopped down and quickly hopped back into the coop. A few minutes later he hopped back down, others followed, and they were in the run. Now the problem was getting them to go to bed in the coop.

Other times I've done that and every one was on the ground within 15 minutes of me first opening the pop door. Brood size is typically about 20 chicks. Each brood can be different.

Personally I let mine go at their own pace, it doesn't hurt anything. I don't think it will hurt anything if you take Aart's suggest and just toss her out. In the scheme of things, it will not matter.

Our 2 oegb go out without any problems our duccle still hasn't ventured to far that we have seen. Yesterday she atleast went into the run door when we were cleaning the coop.
