cloud Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Is it normal - our young hens are in their coop asleep almost an hour before our older girls go to theirs. They have separate coops and runs, but free range together - albeit the two newbies go round together and the two oldies go their own way.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have the opposite - my oldies start settling down long before the newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 When they had their own coop my littl'uns would go to bed an hour or so before the bigger/older girls. They would still like to but the big girls won't let them now they're all in together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesschicken24 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Mine always seem to go to bed really early, usually a good hour or two before it starts to get dark sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think little ones do like to go to bed earlier than the older ones, mine used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I was really surprised. In every other ways they're behaving like stroppy teenagers. Goose and Naomi bonding in a rare moment the not running round the garden like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
