Hi,
I’m still learning so sorry for dumb questions … my pullets have been here 3 weeks … we bought them as 11 week olds from a guy who kept them in a pasture …
..they now have a nice little producers pride predator proof coop and 10 ft run.
They free range only when I’m with them - they don’t like to go far from their home .
But, at dusk when I lock them up in their coop instead of going up in the box area on to the roosting bar .. they start frantically trying to get out and act very nervous . 2 birds did this from the beginning .. but this past week the other two are really pacing and begging me to let them out . I can not because the run is not PP . How can I help them settle ?
(In the am they always seem fine)
