[CHICKENS-101] Re: chicken training

 

We tried to see if they would go to bed on their own at dusk... all they did was hunker down at the foot of the ramp...

once they are fully feathered we can let them stay out at night ( but inside the fenced run) but until then we dont want them to get cold at night as its been getting down to 50/60 at night...

one nice thing is they are getting better at letting us catch them to put them away...
