Very new to having chickens and figuring everything out. I have a 4X6 coop attached to a 12'X22' screened in run. Will only have 9 layers and one rooster. My question is, if I let them out to the run say at 7 in the morning and leave the coop door open for them all day, will they return themselves to the coop early in the evening or will I have to go into the run and herd them back into the coop? One last question and this may not be the right forum to ask, but if I have the light come on at 4 in the morning should I have food and water avail to them in the coop or can they wait till they get outside?
Thanks for your help!!
