We got our exbats last Saturday, we have managed to get them eating,drinking but the problem is they dont want to stay outside in there run area, which is a 1/4 of an allotment.
when we open the door of a morning they all come out have a drink then go back in to the coop, there seems to be about 2 or 3 of the 6 that seem happy to be outside, but the others stay in, but they seem to be in more than out, is this normal? or should we lock them out for the day?
The other thing is oyster shell ok for them or should we get grit as well, I am currently mixing a bit of oyster shell with there food at the moment as they are not getting out in the run.
