Hey everybody!
Recently I have noticed the girls going into their coop during the day and STAYING there all day. The coop is small and only meant for egg laying and roosting. They have a 4 by 7 plastic-covered run to keep the
wind out and another plain run about twice the size. I sprinkle a little bit of scratch down on the ground every morning, have put blocks of hay for them to scratch around in, and throw in some luttuce or grass
for them to eat. They get to free range for a few hours every day but mostly sit underneath the bush. When I go out they always come out of the coop and run to me too see if I have treats. They are bright
eyed and bushy tailed, though I did find some lice on one a few days ago and they are all being treated for it now. Its been around 35 degrees dureing the day and 20ish at night, not to cold right?
Thanks guys!
