My newest chicks are about 5 weeks old and the mom has pretty much pulled away from them. My question is when it's time to go to bed the rooster and three hens go in the coop first then the babies go in which is good but they still sleep where they did with their mom. There is plenty of room on the roosts but they haven't slept there yet. The adult chickens pick on them a little when they are out free ranging but I have not seen them bother too much in the coop. Is there a way to get them to get up on the roosts? Thanks
