Roosting Problem, Help!

[Baby Chick]

We have 11 pullets that we got back in April as chicks. They are currently free ranging and living in a flock with the rest of the hens. When we moved them into general population about a month ago, we locked them up inside the coop alone for 1 day so they would know thats where they go at night. Well of course ever since we let them out they have been roosting in a big tree. Well at first we thought we would just put them back in their old pen until they were fatter & couldn't fly. Well that didnt work at all & they still wont go in the coop at night. With Fall around the corner we need them to be in the coop! So is there anything we can do!?

Keep all of them cooped up for a couple of days, that should help

Personally, I would round 'em up and keep them in the coop, day and night for 3-4 days and see if that helps. How do they get along with your other chickens?

They get along with they other hens just fine. And the coop is HUGE so its not like they are crowded.
