    Small new flock help

    We have a new flock of 5, 18 week old hens. The roosting box has never been used so there aren’t any droppings. Our issue is the birds will not go into the roosting box at night. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello everyone, My wife and I are new to raising chickens. We live near coastal Texas. I am almost finished building our chicken tractor. We are interested in Red Star pullers for their brown eggs and friendly temperament. We plan to start with a flock of 5-6. I have included a picture of our coop.
