So my flock gets let out of their run around 7 am to free range around our yard. I’ve been letting them stay out longer and longer each day as long as my border collies are out if I can’t be there with them.
However, now when it’s time for them to go back in (my time, not dusk) I am literally walking around the house for a half hour trying to coax them back to their run.
My son says i spoil them. But he’s prob jealous they get more freedom than he does. Hahah. JK.
Also, today with the tropical storm coming, I wanted to have them stay in their coop for better protection against the elements but had to literally pick every one of them up and put them in myself. They were NOT happy with me.
So question is, do I just leave them alone and they’ll eventually go back to their run to be let in at dusk and do I leave them alone in bad weather as they’ll figure out to go into their coop on their own if it gets too bad?
Thanks in advance everyone.
