My chickens are being stubborn!! Help!

[Mama Hen Chris]

Seemed my ramp was steep and the girls would not go up. They couldn't get a good grip. I used the rubber shelf liner and they had no trouble going up or down. This coop was for the silkies but my LF hens would go up and down it as well.

Put a cinder/concrete block (16" high) under the end to gentle the slope.

I think they knew i was talking about them, because the night after i posted this thread they've been putting themselves to bed at night! Every night since I've posted this!

Thank you everyone for the help. If they start acting up again i will try putting a box under their ramp.
