Chickens won't leave coop?

[jabherjaw]

We have a coop that has ramp access to a run area, but they seem to be content with just staying in the coop all day. If I leave the door to the coop open, they will eventually come out to free range. They are fed and watered, so should I just not worry about it?

WELCOME TO BYC!!

Don't worry, they will learn to come out on their own time. Try putting some food or treats outside to encourage them to come out. Sometimes, chickens just need to be shown HOW to come out. If you put one or two of them out there, the others will probably follow and figure out that it's safe and fun.
