Right now my bachelors are molting so no 'hen time' for them right now even though they stand and gaze longingly at them through the fence. The look pretty bedraggled next to the February cockerels with their broad chests and intact tail feathers, LOL. I've noticed thought that the breeding frenzy has slowed down considerably from spring so fall must be close at hand.
I remembered last night how I trained my original flock to go into the coop at night. I turned on a light in the coop. Will try this again with the June hatch birds and see if that helps to move them along. We've had a lot of rain here and it's no fun sliding my way around the run that doesn't have grass on it trying to herd the little devils towards the pop door.
