How to get chicks to go in coop at night

I started by putting treats in there during the day, so they got used to going in and out, and then at night I gave them a different treat, and they just started going in at dark.

 

Try feeding them inside the coop, that helps. Usually if you're consistent on putting them away it doesn't take long before they do it on their own.

If its dark in your yard, I use a night light. You can get one of those battery operated push ones meant for your walk.

 

Hey...I would go out right before dark and that is when I fed my babies....calling them all the way back to the coop...ya know chick chick chick. Pretty soon they were chasing after me. It won't take long for them figure it out.
