So, you're saying that these 10 week old chick(en)s, who are no where near full size, won't go in because there is no space for them? Two of them (who make it in every night) are cockerels who will not be staying in the long run. Sorry, I neglected to mention how old these were but they are young. I'm sorry, I just don't buy that. No, it is not the biggest coop out there. I am just guessing the size so it could be 5x4, and then there is additional nest boxes hanging off the back. My chickens (full size) two years ago had no issues going into this 'small' henhouse, even at full size. Thanks. I still don't get it. I guess I'll keep expirimenting.

Have a happy 4th everyone! Stay safe.

ETA: I'm sorry, after re-reading this, my tone did not sound right. Sorry. We are looking to expand before the chicks get bigger. I just cannot see why when they are *this* size, this henhouse would seem small to them. I apologize again.

I thought they were fully grown. I'm just trying to help. I'm not knocking your coop. I like it you have a nice big run. Heck you could add another coop in there.

I was gone for 5 days and now I have 4 that will go in and roost on their own.

I guess it is an improvement.

Thank you for all your help!

I was gone for 3 nights and when I came back all 10 of them had not only made it into the coop, but up on the high roosts! I'm happy. Guess it just took time.
