Polish not going into coop

[CBinTN]

Hey everyone!

We have 10 chicks, they are 6 weeks old and they have lived outside in their run/coop for about 1.5 weeks. The first few nights we had to move them into the coop at dusk. Now, all but the Polish chicken goes into the coop and I have to pick her up and put her in there. Is this normal? Will she get it one of these days? Can she not see cause of her head feathers?

Thanks again for the help!

Perhaps she can't see, perhaps 'someone' is picking on her, or perhaps she is just a slow learner.

When I had young chickens, I would keep them outside during the day in a separate tractor type run, and put them In the coop at night. When I moved hem into the coop’s run, they already were used to sleeping in their house and automatically went In when it got dark. Maybe try a similar method with your polish
