Picking up my first hens tomorrow :-)

Great bunch of girls and nice space for them

Thanks

The sun was setting and they were becoming agitated. They didn't know to go into the coop. From their point of view they were in an open expanse and the coop entrance was a dark square leading to who knows where.

I put a light bulb on the window sill on the outside and lit the coup. Like moths to a candle they all perked up and acted like "oh yeah...that looks nice and safe" and then all made their way into the coop.

I had one straggler but after a few minutes of gentle chasing she finally went inside and I slid the door down into place.

Hi Will
They are beautiful! Your Isa browns look just like my Buff Orpingtons. Are you sure they are Isa Browns?

Hi Kelly. Nope

at this stage of my chicken experience I'm not the least bit certain what they are. I'm just going by what the breeder told me.

Well I'm not an expert by any stretch, but if they are Buff Orpington's you are going to be in for a treat. They are the sweetest birds! Here's a couple pictures of mine...They are only 13 weeks old.
