wingit Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hello everyone, Yesterday I received my Eglu + 3 Miss Pepperpots. I had no problems getting them to bed last night. This morning, when I let them out, two of them were quite happy strutting their stuff and talking to me whenever they could see me. One, however wouldn't leave the coop. Eventually I managed to persuade her out. She started eating and took a drink, then went back into the main section of the coop. She looks fine, albeit a little smaller than the other 2. Her eyes are bright an she appears alert, but, wont leave the coop, just stands at the door, looking out. My main concern is getting her to drink and come out of the coop. Anyone got an idea as to what is bothering her? Cheers Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie&Moose Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi Kevin, Congratulations on your new hens! As long as the reluctant hen is looking healthy I wouldn't worry at this stage - she's probably a bit overwhelmed by her move to her new home. Just make sure she eats and drinks a bit and she should come round in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I replied in the chicken section. I hope she is more alert today, hopefully she will gain confidence each day. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
