chickens not going in their coop at night?

[StacyT]

I have a similar issue with 1 set of chickens not going in at night. They’ll only go in if the weather is bad. I was told to try putting a light in the coop that goes on at dusk and stays on for a bit after. I got the light but haven’t got around to trying it.

I tried everything I could think of. Not crowded, cleaned regularly, no predators just one day they decided not to go in at night and sit on top of the coop. I have a couple of the these same coops and the other chickens go up no problem.

It is the same for me, but using a light is a good idea! I will try it!
