She's doing her inventory... One chicken, two chickens, three... No wait. One chicken, two chickens, four... Start over. One chicken, two...

@Shadrach may I ask your opinion?

The pullets sleep in the little coop and the hens in the henhouse. Every day I see fewer pecking order negotiations and more closeness.

Here's my question. In the mornings, I let the hens out first. Then they stand by the little coop looking in as I open up. No pecking, just watching and looking into the little coop. This has happened three days in a row.

Do you think they're checking the pullets got through the night ok? Or maybe asserting themselves?

I don't really know MJ. I wouldn't have thought they were trying to assert themselves; not a lot of point at this stage.
I doubt they are checking on the chicks either. The chicks won't really feature until everyone is together.
Most likely I think is the hens are following you. Do you feed the chicks in the morning while the hens are outside?

 

[MaryJanet]

Yes, I put food out in the yard for everyone, but I don't put any food in the little coop.

I guess they can hear the pullets and are just taking a look.
