When we first finished the coop, we could not get them to go outside.
They would sit in the pop door and stare out all day.
We finally put them out and that night we had to gather them all up and carry them back inside. We now have a light on a timer to come on before dark and go off about 15 minutes after the pop door closes. this works great.!
Lots of pics on our page and a video of the Morning Rush Hour for the Chicks
