Are you Peking kidding me?

I was lying in bed about 6 AM this morning and thinking about this dilemma. Here's my thought process:

• Lower the coop to the ground and take away the ramp which could be complicating the situation in their mind.
• Set the automatic door timer to open at 7 AM. They seem to be able to go OUT the door just fine.
• When I go out to feed them around 9 AM, I can open the big side door to the coop and leave it open.
• Set the automatic door timer to close around 4 PM.
• Start working to "herd them" in through the side door instead of through the automatic door.

Maybe I can add the enticement of treats once they are herded inside appropriately, but they've never taken any treats from me. Still too freaked out at the prospect...ha ha.

Sound like a plan worth trying.
