Coop Bound

[Roundupman]

I just bought 4 young 7 month old hens off craigslist the other day to replace my current flock of grannys. Puzzling thing is that I cant seem to get them to leave the coop. We have tried treats but to no avail. I am sure the coop configuration is different than the one they grew up in, floor door opposed to a side entrance, but I would think after 4 days they would have figured it out? Any ideas?

What do you mean by a floor door? Can you post pics?

As @BigBlueHen53 said, pictures would help.

How long have you had them? It took my hens a few hours to come out of the coop.

Pop door is in floor of coop. Huge waste of floor space, IMO, especially if coop is a small one.

Is there a run to protect them and keep them close until they learn to navigate the floor door??
I'd just shove them out the door.
Pics might help here, here's some guides to tell you how to do that:

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!

Its a elevated coop with a door hatch in the floor.
