Time to move outside makes an anxious chicken momma!

[firstimeflocker]

Today we finished putting a door and a kick board on our pre-fabricated store bought coop and it's time for the girls to spend their first night outside. They're a little over 7 weeks old now and I'm sure they'll be fine, but this new chicken mom is in for a rough night! They've been spending days outside for about a week now and they absolutely hate going into the coop! They squawk and panic and fly down the ramp back into the yard. Suggestions for helping the girls to adjust would be most appreciated!

You could probably put some treats in the coop, some nice worms or meal worms might just do the trick... If you reward them for going into the coop with treats, it shouldn't freak them out so much...
