Good idea Johnn ! That will keep the flock closer to home, and also keep them in better condition when it's really cold and wet.They need to go to roost with really full tummies then.

I just need to teach them how to use it now!

Put something on it and leave it open for a day. Never takes them long to figure out feeders.

I will try that if they don't figure it out themselves

Iv'e been thinking. I wonder if Daisy will go broody again next year or if this was just a one off? I never thought she would go broody but she did in the end. I think Bella will because she seems to have a motherly side to her when it comes to chicks. And Bella's mother will shock me if she doesn't after going broody 3 times this year. I hope if they are going to then they do it all at the same time so I can buy a batch of eggs to split between them instead of having to buy stupid numbers like 2 each time one goes broody.

Why do chickens suddenly get tamer when they start to squat

Not really at first. They do become easier to pick up though if they're squatting for you. After laying a bit, they do get tamer.

New poster here Could anyone help answer a question on a lemon cuckoo? I have some I ordered and hatched myself born in May and some have darker feathers sprouting in the tail end (assuming these are roo's)? Are they supposed to be completely Lemon and barred or what does this mean? Thanks so much, I need to research a little more on their genetics but thought I would start here first
