Nine week olds won't use roosting bar at night, how do I teach them?

My 6 week old Buff Orpingtons won't go in at night...I have to go out put them on their perch then lock up...I figure they will get it soon..only been outside a week now
and yes they just huddle together in the corner under I put them to bed
 
My buff orpington (I hope) won't go in at night either. He's just chasing those bugs, great big black ones, long after all the others have settled down. He's the one I have to put in the coop. All the others, at 5 weeks, just decided to stay on the roost at night--now it sounds like a pillow fight in there with them getting into the spot they want. Once I close the door and it's really dark in there it's quiet as a church.
 
I have to announce....today is day 2 my babies have finally learned how to go to bed...I'm so proud of them roosting...7 weeks old tomorrow
