Hello Everyone,
I have a question for the group. I have three ladies that are 11 weeks old. Two White Leghorns and One Black Australorp. Every day I open their coop and they free range and cause havoc in my yard and when it starts to get dusk, they walk back into their run, up the ladder and into their coop. I wait till dark and close and lock the door. I know we have raccoons in the area so its important I lock the door behind them.
Now on to my question: Lately like the last week or so, instead of being good girls and going in they are going to the top of the coop and all three will bunch up and hang out there until it gets pitch dark and they zombiefy. I now have to pick them up and put them into coop. Any idea on what happened here and is this common? If so how can I get them back into their groove?
