fantasticjudyann Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 My newbies are roosting outside because the original two won't let them in the Go. Will this harm them and when will the older two relent and let the newbies inside? The weather's fine at the moment but I don't want them out in the cold. Advice please Omleteers. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 They will be fine, the others will accept them soon and they will be all in bed together soon. Don't worry, they probably sneak in when the others nod off any way, that's what my pullets do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Chickens have a higher body temperature than us, so are less affected by the cold. I have a couple of nutters that insist on perching in the WIR even when it snows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You could put a cat box in the run as temporary housing for them until they are confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
