UPDATE on Whitney, she is starting to fill out and gain some weight, after I wormed her I will try to get another picture of Whit sometime this week. The rest of the gang is doing well. I have started letting the chickens free range in the yard but not all of them are getting back into the coop at night and that worries me. Any advice on how to get them back into the coop?

I don't give my chickens their evening crumbles until its time to go in the coop. They totally recognize my red coffee can and come running into the coop. It is something you just have to repeat until they get a routine. It takes awhile but after they get it they will mob you over.

Happy to hear about Whit. Look forward to some pictures. I let mine free range all day. When it get to be darker, they get in by themselves. Now if we need to leave early, then I just walk behind them scooting them along, until they hop into the coop. I like the crumble idea though. I have their food down for them all day, maybe I need to change that.

When we had chickens, it was dangerous to walk outside carrying a cheerios box. I could lead them ANYWHERE with a cheerios box........so long as they got a handful. Cheerios was their favorite "snack".

I will have to try the cheerios and see how they like them mine also like fruit bars too
