hi there i've recently built a coup with a good sized run and purchased 6 rhode island reds i.ve got the jist of keeping them food ... water etc:) but what i wanted to ask was when i lock them in for the night should you put food and water into the coup or should they have enough from during the day time? also i noticed that they're reluctant to come out of the coup .i got one from a guy down the road which always bounces out first second i open the door but the other 5 which he located for me, tend to stay inside ?? maybe thats the way they grew up ?

any advice or posts would be realy helpful

thanks..
