Response to Chicken Pen that Works?

A trick I learned was to keep your hens in their barn until they are laying. Once they start laying where you want them they will come home to eat, roost and lay. If you let them out before you will be Easter Egg hunting! It works really well, I have only one hen who insists on living out at the Dairy Goat barn. After I finish chores in the morning, I open the chicken door, we close them in again after dark. I can't stand to do chores with the hens out, they sit at the milk stand and scurry to pick up any grain that the doe's let fall from their dish. It sounds cute for about 5 minutes then it is annoying. Vicki McGaugh
