Crowing
Unless your coop gets to hot lock them in there for 3 or 4 weeks then start over they should go to bed on there own then.I have seven, 10-week old birds. Each night as the sun goes down, three of them perch on the door to the coop. They are easy to get put in the coop. The other four sometimes are in the coop, sometimes on the ramp, but usually come running back out when they hear me come out the front door.
I get them all placed in the coop (after no small amount of chicken wrestling), but how do I get them to willingly go in the coop at night? This has been the nightly routine for about 3 weeks.
Thanks!
