    Hi all, 3 days ago we bought 5 hens. There about 14 weeks and havn't started to lay yet.

    The hens wont come out of there coup at all. I even have the door wide open and still have no joy.


    Is there anything I should do or just give them time to settle and see what happens?

    Thanks for the help in advance

    Yeah, expect that. It'll take them a few days to acclimatise and eventually when they're hungry enough they'll come out. It's common

    agree with the other posters , maybe put a trail of feed from inside to outside , takes a few days for them to settle down
