I seem to have read so much about chicken keeping in the past couple of weeks that I’m not sure anymore
New too but took mine a week inside coop and run , I let them out within 3 days and one started making a nest outside and layed there once , NOT GOOD really :F so put them back in for 4 more days and they always lay in there home now . Just a tip from a newb but dont let them out of the pen/house intill then have layed about 6 times then they will always come home at night.
