Hello everyone!
My family and I are new to raising Chickens and are very excited but my girls won't go to bed inside this new coop I built with my little girl. Any Help WILL Be appreciated!
 
You could try an put a "night light" in the coop so it doesn't seem so scary to them. Another thing you could do is put some food an water in there an physically put them in there an an let them out in the morning try that for a few days an they might get the idea. That's what I had to do to my girls. Also make shure there is not a predator in there that is scaring them out the coop. An welcome to BYC!!!!!
 
If the light works, you can have it on a timer to go on at dusk and go off about 15 minutes later giving them the chance to find a spot on the roost.

After a few days leave the light off, they should be going in on their own.
