NEWBIE HERE-How to get chickadees back in coop?!

[AlainaMcM]

Omg...so normally my chicks are pretty cool and seem to understand when I start clapping hands saying "Chick Chick", that they need to coop up. But they are free range on several acres and sometimes don't want to coop up! This primarily happens when I'm trying to be somewhere at a certain time thus making me late! They are still young chicks...but only a month or so away from laying. I've lost my voice and yelling "chick chick!" So... I started trying to use guitar to make them reconize me calling them. STILL...if I easily get them all in I have one that is relentless! BEST WAY TO COOP FREE RANGE CKNS QUICK??

I've found that as my chicks are getting older they aren't coming when I call anymore either.
If you give them treats that will probably help. My chicks were coming until they reached 3 weeks old and now they don't listen at all. I probably need to start using treats! I think they just get more independent.
