In the Brooder
We started introducing our new chicks to their run about a month ago, for the first couple weeks they spent the day in their run and nights in the brooder in the basement. About 2 weeks ago we moved them to their coop by locking them in the coop for a couple days. They picked up going in and out of the coop to the run very quickly. The problem is we started out putting their food and water on the ground in the run and in the coop at night. They have a “patio” where the food and water will go permanently but when we put it there they do not go up and eat or drink during the day when they are in their run. How do we teach them their food and water is there so they go get it?
