Re: [CHICKENS-101] Moving chicks outside

 

For the first week you should make sure they are all going into the coop to roost at night.  Our hens free range and with the exception of about 4 out of 200, they all go in to the coop at sunset and the coops are locked.  About 95% of them go back into the coop to lay their eggs in the nesting boxes during the day.  There are a few who have other favorite spots outside to where they lay their eggs.  They are always fed outside and there is no food or water in the coop which we feel discourages rats/mice.
