    10 week old chicks stay down in their run at night

    Hello, we're 1st year chicken raisers/owners and it's been great fun so far. We have 6 sikies and we moved them to their coop about 3-4 days ago and they stay in the run after dusk and haven't seemed to figure out that they need to go upstairs to their roost. We have been nudging them to get...
