Help!
We have had chickens for 4 years but recently restarted our coop except for our 4 year hen and 1 year hen. We recently have added 5 chickens from 3-4 months. They get along fairly well with our other 2 but they won't enter the coop and night and won't leave in the morning. I don't think they've figured out the ramp yet. But any advice is great our other 2 don't have a problem and I'm really confused please help!!!

I just got 2 new pullets and a rooster last week. The coop door is usually opened up by noon but today was the first day those 3 left the coop.


I think it just takes them some time. I know when I put my chicks in the coop around 10-12 weeks late spring it took them over a week before they ventured more than 10 feet from the coop.

Try confining them to the coop for a couple days to really set in the "this is your home" mindset. I hope you find something that works!

How big is your coop and run, in feet by feet?
Pics would really help.
How did you integrate the new birds?
I'll bet there is some 'bullying' going on by the existing birds as they guard their territory.
