Chicks will not return to coop at dusk among a few other "issues"

[yiayiacheryl]

The run is 10' x 4' x 6" The coop is 4' x 4' x 5" and this does not include the nesting boxes. AND tonight they went into the coop on their own!! YEAH! Also, I put grapes on the nipples today and they ate them right away....And got they hang of it by drinking! YEAH! So it looks like I have some smart chicks . Now for weekend my mom is going to check in on them. Still not comfortable leaving them.

My chicks are finally using the roost bar. I checked on them last night and they were all up on the bar. This morning when I went to remove the blockers I put in the nest boxes I saw 2 of my chicks using the nipples. Things are starting to click!
