Why wont my chickens go outside?

Success!! Adding more slats to the ramp did the trick for the outside! For the inside I think I'll move the food and water, and make a second platform part of the way up on the so the ramp does not run into the wall. Thanks for all the advice!

I am glad they are going outside and using the ramp!

We have had ours for just a few days and they won't go out. We placed one outside and see loved it but went back in after just a short time. They were free range when we go them and have a very large coop so guess I'm just wondering is it them adjusting?

It's really best to keep them confined to the coop for a week to 'home' into it before free ranging.
