Hi, my 8 girls are 7 weeks old and have been in the coop/run since they were 3 or so weeks old. They go into the coop at dusk and whenever a dog barks. They will only be going out to free range when I am home... my neighbors dog (who has one of those underground fence tingys) likes to herd chickens a little too much!
So my question is when do you start letting them out of the run to free range a bit? And how do you make sure they go back to the coop? Do you use treats to lure them back in? Any advice you have would be great... I am a little nervous but I know it will be good for them and they will love it!
Thanks.
