They absolutely have. I watched them on camera tonight explore and poke their head in the coop door. But then they turned around an ran back to old kennel and roost. Out to move the littles again. Day 4.
Hi, hope the good suggestions the other greeters have provided help. Thanks for joining us!
Still no Bueno. Was wondering if I closed off the kennel if that would help, or would I just be chasing chickens around the run to scoop them up and place them in the coop. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. 2 of the Littles went up the ramp and into the coop twice and hung out a bit. Then ran out to the kennel and perched there.
Oh no, I didn't realize they could still go back into the old place. I would definitely shut down however they get in there as they'd then turn around and realize they only have one option.
Did you have to chase them to get them in the coop?
The first two days, yes. The third day it's half and half and always a diverter. The fourth day no, we just walked behind to encourage they keep moving. The fifth day we watched from the house. They did it!
It will be warmer Thursday so I'll deploy that idea then. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
Do you keep a light on all night?
No, after they're in, we shut it off. After the first week, we don't turn it on anymore.
