Chicks stop following mum into coop at night

[Shaz1522]

Hi I have 6 5 week old chicks that have been happy following mum back into coop at night.now mum goes in and calls them and they stay in dust bath or just plodding together around run.
Mum now sleeps back on perch.
They all happily come around together in day.
For the last 3 nights I've had to go into run and pick each up and put them into coop.
Should I just keep doing this till they go in on there own ?

Sounds like they are starting to get more independent which is normal. Eventually they will figure out to go inside and roost but I would keep giving them the nudge they need so they are safe at night until they learn.
