Indigo a la mode
Chirping
Hello! I have four chickens who until last week cheerfully cooped themselves every night, no problem at all. Last Monday, I built them a run, so I moved their coop about three feet and turned it around to protect it a little better from the wind.
Since then, my fool birds seem to have forgotten that they ever lived there. Now they roost in a row on top of the coop, which obviously isn't cool. If I catch them before it's dark, I can lure them into the coop with some feed and shut them in, and then they're happy to sleep together inside as usual. If it's dark, I have to put them in one by one.
Any ideas on how to get them to start going inside on their own again?
Thanks!
