My 8 week old chicks don't seem to understand that they need to go into the coop at night and then come on outside when I open their door in the morning. Do they not naturally know this?? Right now I'm having to encourage them up the ladder & into the coop with food in my hand and then so far I've had to take them out of coop. I just left the coop door open this morning and left for work. Can't wait to see if they are still inside coop when I get home. My husbands says chickens are too bright! Will they learn to do this on their own. Is there anything I can do to help them.
