Hi all, go my first chickens few weeks ago and now I let them use the run on day and sleep in the coop at night.
THe Bard Plymoth rock got the idea in 2 days and they go back to the coop on sunset (a bit after the automatic door closed, so I turn it off for now and close the door manually), but the silkies still don't want to go upstairs. They gather in one of the corners and scream..
I tried to change the ramp angle, sprayed and anti-slip spray and added some steps before the ramp. When I put them on the ramp and encourage them with treats and little push they do climb.
What can I do to make them go up by their own? Is my setup can be used by silkies? Should I adjust anything?
