I've got a chicken ark that has two floors, how do I get the chickens to go up the ramp and how do I turn that into a routine will they do it on their own over time?
 
Give them a few days and they will figure it out on their own. Do you have some cross board across the main ramp, something for them to grip?
 
A light in the coop at the top. Had to do that for my full sized birds when I originally got them and now for my chicks when they were transferred from the brooder into the chicken tractor. Chickens are drawn towards the light when it gets later in the day and time to go to bed.

I also put the chicks food and water in that area so that they'll know it's "home" and will return to it.
