Shilojo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We got our new ladies home today and they've spent a couple of hours in their run, but now it's dusk and they're showing no signs of working out the ladder to the Go. Stupid question, but do we just put them into the Go Up and then hope they work out how to get out when I open the door in the morning?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yes, that's absolutely what to do . They often need a bit of help working out their bedtime routine! Congratulations on your new girls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilojo Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well, panic over. Hillary suddenly flew up to check it out, followed closely by Angela. They've both been in and out a few times and are now ready for tucking up in bed. Margaret is still inspecting the run but we'll give her a bit longer before giving her a helping hand. Hopefully now that the other two are inside it won't be long before she works it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ah bless them, they will soon get the hang of it. Try opening the back of the go and shining a torch through the pop hole, they will usually follow the light, that worked with my first girls. They will be itching to get out in the morning, they may be a little reluctant at first but once one Braves it the others will soon follow. Congratulations on your new ladies and you are going to wonder where your time goes watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Lucky you! I needed to crawl in the run and fetch them the first night... Not glamorous at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilojo Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Margaret eventually worked it out and they are all tucked up in bed. Clever girls! I missed the actual ascent as I was putting the human baby to bed but she was having a good nosey at the view from inside the Go doorway when I shut them up. Hope it meets with her approval. Not worried about an early waking. The toddler gets up between 5 and 6am so chickens should be easy peasy. I know that we might not get an egg for a little while as they're in a scary new place, but still slightly excited about checking tomorrow. You never know!
