I just built a coop for my chickens (10 weeks old) as they were living inside my home in a huge cage.
How do I get them accustomed to living in the coop? They cried and cried when I put them there the other night that I had to bring them back in the house...they were breaking my heart!
Also...I noticed that they will not go up to the "house" part of the coop and only want to perch on the log down below.
Will they ever go inside to sleep at night? I'm concerned about them.
Please help. As you can tell by my questions, I'm very new to this.
