If you're letting them range the yard; the first couple evenings after you let them out; toss feed around their coop & just outside of it to draw them to the coop around bedtime.

> Hi guys.
> I already have questions. :-) I have 2 laying hens that I purchased Saturday morning. We were out of town with them until yesterday evening. I put them in the coop (they are our first chickens) last night where they have been. It's a decent size coop for 2 birds..5 1/2' x 4' and they can peck etc. I went out this morning to let them out but then thought I had better come back in and research some more. If I let them out are they likely to make their way back to the coop this evening? We're in an urban back yard so they don't have far to go but I can picture them nesting under the travel trailer.
