I would like to know your opinion on this please.
First timer with chickens. I have 15 chickens, 3 adults and 12 pullets(14 weeks old). The 12 youngsters do not go into the coop at night. They prefer to hop on a temporary shelter I made outta plywood. and spend the night. This morning I removed that, it was never intended to be permanent. Is it just a matter of time before they will head in there at night? Is there anything I can do to encourage them? I have seen several of them up on the ramp exploring so they are aware of the deluxe accommodations.
Any input is appreciated.
Oh, this is their setup I recently built.
