How to get my 5 week old chicks to roost??

Date sort Score sort
I put my chicks out in the coop at 3 weeks...they have pretty much taken to roosting automatically...

my first chickens so no adults to "show them the ropes"... they will probably figure it out soon enough
 
I have 7 week old chicks. They roost on the bars during the day for a nap or preening. At dusk they go into the coop and pile up in a corner. They are 3 deep and the squawking doesn't stop. I also put them on the roost bars but they jump off and run for the pile.

Very strange behavior.
