We put our chicks in the coop for the first time yesterday. It's a duplex, so we split them up 3 chicks per side. Here's the problem as they have been a group of six for 6 weeks. they really miss each other. With this in mind I had removed some of the dividing chicken wire at the top of the coop so they could go from one side to the other.
The catch is they would have to go to the roosts at the top to get over to the other side and they don't seem to get it. They can definitely hear one another on the other side. My wife wants me to cut a hole in the partition so they can go from one side to the other.
I'm not sure about doing that. Should I wait a few days to see if they get it, or cut the hole now?
