Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Rosalie]

My girls spent the day in their new coop/run yesterday. They are between 6-8 week bantams. What sort of time do they go to bed as last night I had to pick them up and put them in the house at about 9pm to shut them in

[Eggshell]

My three are settling down about 9.30 at the moment (though 'bottom chicken' goes up a bit before the others - don't know whether this is because she's a bit younger or whether it's her job to tidy up before the others come ...)

Thankyou didn't know how long to leave them out as they are young

They will soon get the hang of where to go at bedtime Rosalie.

If they haven't got the hang of it and the weather is horrible I would tuck them up at about 7.30pm as they might get a bit cold and damp if left out for longer.

Mine usually go to bed between 7pm and 8pm depending on the weather.

In the Winter they go to bed around 3pm , well mine do anyway

Mine put themselves to bed at about 9.30 and get up at 3.30! I leave the pop holes open for them as they are in secure runs,but wouldn't do that if they were babies. 9 sounds fine. Have you got any pictures, they sound lovely and were all very nosey here
