Newbie to Chickens

[Maxie2955]

Hi Everyone,
I am Maxie2955 and I am raising 4 Barred Plymouth Rock (females)who will be 12 weeks old as of tomorrow. They have been living in their coop for about one week now and they are still getting used to going out to the run area every day. However, today is the first day they went back into their coop when it got dark without me having to coax them to go in.`

Welcome to BYC. Sounds like your birds are learning the routine.

Hi Maxie, it's nice to have you here! It's really helpful when they figure out to go by themselves

Welcome! Congratulations on beginning a flock, and great news on the girls figuring out the routine!
We’d love to see pictures of your girls. Do you have other animals as well?
