    Chickens won’t go in at night.

    I’m new to BYC and a new chicken owner. I am enjoying raising and watching my girls (at least I think they’re girls ). I have 8 chicks that are 9 weeks old. I moved them into the hen house two weeks ago and kept them inside for a week. My problem is that they will not go inside at night. I’ve...
