In the future I may plan on leaving it open all the time. But they’ve only been out there a few weeks so I’d like to give it time to see what predators may try to get in overnight, if any at all, just so that before I do leave the pop door open all night I’ll have a better idea as to what I may...

If the ventilation is good, roosts are present as the highest point in the coop for them to perch and they feel safe inside the coop. They’ll go in at night. Maybe later than we would like for them to but they’ll go in. For instance. I was at my parents’ house this evening from about 6pm until...

What time are you going to put them up?

What time were you trying to get them to go into the coop?

Just curious? At what time are you going out there to make sure their in the coop for the night? I have a reminder set on my phone for 7pm to go out and close it up. But I’ve found that they seem to get active right before sunset and will eat and run around the chicken yard playing for about 15...

Looks like adding the windows helped out according to the OP. Good deal!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.. Chickens are so weird! Lol

When you first moved them out there did you keep them confined in the coop for a few days with food and water?

If you decide to do that. Mount the window but outs as shutters with the hinges on the top so it will open up like this pic of how I did mine to allow airflow and to keep the rain out.This is a better pic of what I mean than the pic of mine.

Hmm.. I wonder if you made another vent/window closer towards the middle or right side of the pop door area and another one on the opposite wall but right across from the other one? Just a thought. But I’m not chicken whisperer.

So apart from the pop door in the pic, where are the vents at on the coop, how big are they and how many are there?

What’s the temp inside the coop? Is it cooler out in the run then in the coop? is there ample ventilation of the coop? Like windows that are larger than the vents you speak of? Could you post a pic of your coop? just thinking, if the run has more air flow and is cooler than the run at the end...
