For what it’s worth, I have two, sometimes three, small bantam hens that do not go into the coop unless I put them there. I have been moving them off the outside “roost” (which is in the rafters of their run, about 5.5 feet up in the air) and putting them inside the coop for almost a year now. I think they’ve gotten used to it. When I come in at night, they start talking and get ready for me to pick them up. I think they think that me moving them inside is just part of the routine. If I don’t come out to do it, they don’t go in. Guess I started a bad habit, but they’re cute, so I don’t mind.
