Old chicken door original barn- third bay garage, so cool!

[davidfchickens]

Hey everyone! Cleared out my garage and found an old door that must be for chickens back in the day. We were moving our small coop into the third bay of the garage where it is conveniently located. Made a nice setup and my neighbor who happens to be a carpenter made a nice little ladder/ramp to the outside world from the indoor run. The only question is--how do I teach the chickens to go back up the ladder/ramp? They don't seem to understand how to walk back up.
Thanks
David

Excuse the old barn haha, I like the rustic look.

Put some of their favorite treats on each rung.

It's kind of steep, put a concrete block(16") under the low end.
Then, yeah, scratch grains on the ramp.
Still might take some time.
How long have they been in there?
Will they go down the ramp?

Thanks, I will do that. They come down it no problem. They have used it only twice.
