They are thre weeks old and come out the coop every morning be themselves. When it gets dark however they instead of climbing the ramp back into the coop, they gather underneath. I have to pluck them one by one and put them inside. The coop has wire bottom so if I were to turn a light on inside...

You are right on. If you keep chickens as pets does not change the fact that they are FOOD first and foremost. If in doubt get the knife. Sentimentality kills not only your bird but thousands of others.
I oredered all pullets but I understand hatcheries are not 100% on sexing chicks. I got 50 SLW chicks out of which 1 has expired this morning. How many roosters can I expect to be amongst them and at what age can I tell with any certainty? They are 5 days old now.

I got the sme one with the solar charger/battery and timer for $170 and installed it today. Supporting the motor on a little wooden block takes the load off the plastic rail and results in a much smother operation. All I need now is chickens :-)
