My silkie won't go in the hen house

[mccorbin]

Hi, New here but I to was worried about my silks piling up outside their coop. I put them up every night, for about 2 weeks now. I have fresh nesting boxes about a foot off the ground with a ramp. Since they are only 10 weeks old I just thought they had to be taught. I even installed a low voltage, no heat light so they could find their way. I am glad to hear it is common so I can just continue to put them up every night. I have 5 silks and 1 regular bantam.

Mine won't go in the house at night either. They'll just pile up in a corner and go to sleep there. You might want to put her in there each night until she learns to go into the house on her own.

Hey, I’m having this precise problem! Paid lots for an eglu that they sleep on the doorstep to rather than go inside. Did they catch on in the end?
