What can i do to make a chicken learn to go into the house? Why does she do it?

I've got a sweet Buff Orp who waits until all are in bed before entering the coop. She's last on the pecking order and wants to avoid the confrontation of settling on the roost at night.

Are you sure she'd stay out in the dark? (I know you'd have to leave her out after dark to know this, not fun!)

She could also simply be learning if she's young.

I'd put her in until she began to get the hang of it.

 

She's just young. You don't have to take her in the house either. Just keep putting her in the coop. I had some young bantams like that too. One day she will surprise you and go in on her own. You will be very happy, not to have to put in. Good luck. Michele

 

Gorgeous birds. I think that ladder is really great; it shouldn't be a problem for her!

So maybe you'll have to tuck an adorable bird into bed for a few nights, that's no to bad, right? {I'm assuming you are referring to what we often call the "coop" when you say "house"?}

 

I would agree. Just put her inside the coop at night. She either hasn't gotten used to it yet or is being fully. Either way it would work itself out in time if you help show her what to do.
