Hello and welcome to BYC; I love your breed variety! When you say your ISA Browns won't go inside the coop, what do you mean exactly? As in what do they do when it becomes too dark for them to see? I have had several groups of ISA Browns, and they are ALWAYS the last group to go inside. And I do mean group, because I buy 15 ISA Brown pullets at a time, and they hang together as a cohesive unit for their entire lives. I have found it's helpful for me to go inside as dusk nears, otherwise some of the ISA Browns will stay out with me until they literally can't see to find their coop door, and will bump into the coop sides until I pick them up and carry them in. Their reluctance to call it a day is also a problem when I try to integrate younger pullets of other breeds, because the younger pullets don't want to walk past older ISA Brown hens that are lingering at the1 door. I love ISA Browns; they have very special personalities; and one of their unique traits is they never want to miss a moment of daylight!

That's extremely helpful thank you so much!
