Well after almost a month, I finally let my girls have a little outside the run time. It was magical, did I really say that? They tentatively came out the door and then were calm and just started hunting and pecking. I sat nearby with my water hose and hoe ready to do battle with any and all intruders but there were none. I let them stay out a few minutes, gave them a few meal worms and then lured them back into the run with a grape. Little EE was a little frazzled when the RIR and Australorp got in the run first but all in all it went well and I am going to start letting them have a little more supervised free range time!
