Bought my first four chicks 2 months ago. Raised them in my dining room until they were big enough to go outside. What a mess that was! Got an Americauna, Rock Barr, Comet, and Rhode Island Red. Cant get these guys to willingly go into their coop at night. Been having to chase them down in the run to put them away. This is destroying their trust in me.
I do it between 7:30 and 8pm every night so I can relax for the evening. The coop and run are extremely safe, should I just leave the door open and let them go in by themselves when and if they want to? Been hesitant because its chilly at night, and the door being closed would keep them warmer. Bad Idea or okay?
