Ducks struggle being put away at night

[Callduckies]

I need ideas for betters ways of putting my ducks in their coop at night.
I've tried put them in a cat carrier but they don't all want to go in it and just don't all fit.
I've also tried putting a stool in front of the coop door to help them get in on their own but they just don't all understand or are able to do it.
I need a solid way for getting them put away at night by this weekend as I have family members taking care of them!

Picking them up and put them in individually is not feasible. They hate being picked up and I would go insane trying to do that every night lol

Please can you share a photograph of your coop entrance. It sounds as if that is the problem

i use a step in fence post , and also a brick, to secure the door in open position for daytime.
i also use plastic hex poultry fencing on one side of the door going out to the pen fence so that i can herd the ducks around and in to the coop ( using pool noodles and my voice - i always yell “all ducks go to bed”)
