We just finished our coop and run today. We' loaded the chickens in and they seem to love it right away, much more air and room than the wood shed! Now the sun is going down and they are acting crazy. They aren't going into the coop and keep trying to roost on the top of the tin roof (that we thought we had at enough of an angle). Do they just now know that they are supposed to go in there at night?
My husband thinks that we should put them in there at night and close the chicken door for several nights (and re-open in the morning) so that they get the idea that they should go inside when the sun goes down, is that a good idea??
