Ok I just built my chickens a brand new coop and I put it in our side yard. The old coop is in the back yard. I had to move them from the backyard because the mess was becoming unbearable. So now that I've tried to move my chickens to their new coop they are not taking it so well. My silkie fought hard trying to get back to the old one I eventually had to completely lock them in. This morning I went out to check on them and see if they had any eggs and I found that one of them had laid in the gravel.
I have this nice beautiful coop with great nesting boxes and they are just not having it. So do you think they will ever get used to the new coop and lay in their new pretty boxes? Is there anything that I can do to encourage them?
