Silkie Chick making me crazy

[Chickassan]

I would get all of them in on the treat training.
A little before they go to bed toss your treats in a way that leads everybody to the coop, they'll follow treats. Make sure your treats are always in the same container and are something they adore, live mealworms are used here and tiny pieces of bread, sometimes raisins. You know what yours love.
When they're inside give them the majority of what you brought.
In a few nights they should all including the silkie be waiting inside for you and your goodies. Let them eat then shut the door. You won't have to do this forever, and using the same container if for any reason you need your birds to come quickly all you'll need is your container.

Thank you for the suggestion! I thought about doing this last night but if I put her in there and close the door then how do the other three go in later? I don’t think silkie would stay in the coop if the door was open. Let me know how you would do this. Thanks!

So happy silkie Luna went into the coop tonight with the others all on her own!!! Yay!!! Maybe the continued treat training is what did it!! Praying she will continue to go in on her own. Does anyone feel like it’s cruel to only have one silkie among the three Easter eggers? They just seem so different. Thanks!!

All of my incubated chicks have taken forever to use the ramp. Hen hatched chickens learn quickly from their mother. I have incubated chicks that are about 8 weeks old that I put in every night. They eventually learn, but it does take some time. It's a pain, I know. But they will learn.

Thank you for the encouragement! Interesting to hear the difference between incubated eggs and chicks with their mother. I’m just hoping she has sort of learned from the EEs and will go in there again tonight on her own! Thanks!!
