Put some corn and peas on the ramp ! First sprinkle some on the ground and let them peck at it, and then lead a trail up the ramp.
Works like a charm everytime for my ducks, why not for chickens!
 
So, from what i understand they've got feathers in the way and might be hesitant because they can't see clearly.
