I had to move my juveniles into their new coop for the first couple nights after they passed their quarantine period and they caught on very fast that it was their space. I sweetened the deal by chucking some corn in there periodically during the day when they were nearby so they would see it as a good and desirable place to go.This is my plan from now on.
Should I try to encourage the 3 juveniles to move to the new coop without moving them at night? If so, how? I'm hoping after a few nights of moving them and giving them breakfast in their own area to enjoy, they'll catch on that it's a safe place for them. I don't think the adults would be sorry to see the juveniles off their preferred roost bar. The younger adults usually harass the little ones in the evening quite a bit until they all settle down.
