my chickens escaped

[eveingarden]

New to raising chickens and only had the hens for 2 days...let them out into the garden...didn't come back to coop..found one in tree. can't find the other. How do I get the one in the tree down and back into the coop?

The one in the tree will probably come down early in the morning and the other one is hopefully on another tree and will come down in the morning as well.

Try using some scratch thrown in their pen/coop area. I would keep them locked in their coop for at least 3-5 days until they learn that is home. Good luck hope you find the other hen.

Try using some treats to lure them into the run . I use corn ,when they see me with the coffee can I use to keep it in they all come running back to the jail house
