Today is the day I'm collecting the girls from BHWT in Nantwich.
With an eye on not adding to their stress, I'm now considering their initial freedom in the remaining hours of the day. There is only going to be a few hours before dusk \dark, due to my mid afternoon pickup time.
When I bring them to their new home, is there any initial advice on how this should\ could pan out?
1) In the coop (its an Omlet Cube Mk2), and let them out tomorrow?
2) In the run, its a secure 3m x 4n walk in run, with access to the coop and guide them into the coop later? BTW, the run has a roof and is protected from the expected strong winds.
3) In the garden, with access to both of the the above?
Please note, it's also forecast to be wet and very windy.
