After three full days out in the run the ladies have mastered exiting the hen house via the chicken ladder. Getting back in is another matter. I came home from work, in the dark, to find three distressed peepers huddled in a corner of the run. They hadn’t figured out how to get back in to the hen house before it was too dark to see. Chickens are night blind and navigating up the ladder in the dark is a little tough. The new plan is to turn have the brooder lamp turn on at dusk so they have a beacon to follow in to the house.
