Roobaloo Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 My four chicks have been living outside for a little while now...in a wooden 'all in one' hen house & fixed run type thing. Despite the fact that they run up and down the ramp all day, they're always huddled in a corner of the run come night fall and I have to crawl inside and post them up into the house. I assumed that after the first few times, they'd get the hang of this themselves...apparently not. Am I just leaving it too late at night to move them and their sleepy little minds aren't taking it in? How can I encourage them to put themselves to bed? Thanks!

Redwing Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 A torch left in the house when it gets dark will encourage them towards it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaloo Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Fab! I'll try that!! I couldn't believe them tonight....at 7pm, they were all sat at the top of the ramp - brilliant!! and 7:30pm, they're snuggled together underneath it!!
