I've been posting and receiving help with my chicks who won't go in the coop at night, even with a light. They acted like the coop was
The Horror House of Death.
Today dh cut a window in the coop near the roosting area (previously there was only a door, rest of the coop completely enclosed). They haven't left the coop since he put the window in! They are roosting and making no sound, just looking out the window now and again.
I think that they really needed that window, for whatever reason, so thanks to those who suggested it! Luckily, the window is inside the secure run and under a roof, so I don't have to hassle with covering it with something until winter.
I'm hoping that they will continue to enjoy the coop tonight with the window. At least I'm on the right track to getting them to sleep in there.
