My Chickens escaped

[Ashinos]

I accidentally let my chickens leave their coop, and can't figure out how to get them back in. Anyone know how?

Three little chickens went out one day.
Over the farm and far away.
Papa Farmer went "GET THE !@#$ BACK".
And all the little chickens came back.

Leave the door open, come 5pm they will return.

If they get stuck (means they can't path back for some reason) they'll teleport when it gets late.

Just leave them alone, they will go back on their own eventually.

Actually, it's 8pm, isn't it?

Either that, or my chickens are rebellious little hoodlums who constantly break their 5pm curfew. ;)

Thanks for the help. Sadly one of them got killed at night.

They'll start going back at 5 and be all back at 6 PM, at least it was always like that with my chickens.

They can't be killed by any means, it's a very commom thing to simply allow chickens outside and let they go back in on their own because this make them happier.

Yep, chase them around, with your arms wide open and yelling "shoo, shoo"

Or wait till around 5-7 PM and leave the doors to the Coop open ;)

Hes dead for sure. Havent seen him for a few days. While sleeping I heard some howling when I came outside I only had one chicken. And when I clicked on him it said that hes scared because something bad must have happened last night.

You are wrong, they CAN be eaten and killed by wolves at night if they are locked out.

If your animals do not return, leave the doors open for them. They will only get eaten if they are locked out. Simply having them open is not enough for them to be eaten.

I totally didn't know about that, very nice info even though I can't see it happening ever unless you close the door with animals outside on purpose, some people said they can get stuck on things but I've never seen that happen.

[AvatarMan]

Oooo I wonder if that owl shadow you sometimes see might actually snatch up your smaller animals if they're locked out?

Is your farm named "Stalag 17" by chance?
