New coop

[GoCougs74]

We built a new coop for our girls and 3 out of 4 will go in at night. The other still tries to get into the old coop. And we are keeping that one for the chicks we will get in the spring so we don’t want to remove it. Any tips on how to get this last stubborn girl to go to bed in the correct place? First time chicken owner so I will take any and all advice

Are you you able to block it off?

is this something we will have to do for a few nights or so they generally understand after being in there one night?

We have them in a fenced area with the new coop but apparently we need to make our fence taller because this lady keeps flying over it to get to the old coop. I think we have some plastic fencing I can try to block it off see if that helps.

Let us know if that works, good luck!

You may need to do it a few times.

Yep, better fix that before the new chicks arrive.
