Since my coop/run is completely covered and doesn't have any grass/dirt for my 4 girls to eat, I decided to take them out and put them in a 20x20 dog pen we have where there is plenty to eat. They seemed terrified and eventually hid under a ramp that leads inside of our garage through a doggy door. They pecked around for a minute, one tried to escape, then they all hid. I'm hoping this is just because it is new to them. I'm getting a 10x10 pen next week strictly for the chickens and will have it predator proof so I won't have to stand there with them the entire time they are out, but I was just wondering if this was normal. They were quite happy to go back to their coop when I took them back
