Yes they run up and down the ramp. Lol. They seem to come out when I go outside and stand near the coop and when I go inside my house they seem to find their way back into the coop. Are your hens protective? I watched one of them chase a wild bird away from the outside of the run. I'm praying it isn't a rooster as we can't have roosters in my town.It could be a security thing. However, my Delawares are very curious and adventurous. Without seeing your setup, I'd have to wonder how steep the ramp is to the outside. Have you seen them run up and down the ramp? If they can navigate the ramp, give them time to adjust to the new surroundings.
