Hello again everyone,
So here I am again, were 3 months or over into the new coop, and my girls still won't go in at night!
I've tried everything, light, treats, etc etc but im still having to resort to picking them up one by one and putting them in at night!
I go down, and put the light on ( in hope)
I go back down and put them in ( they are all huddled under they're coop in the sand box)
I go back down and turn the light off
Its a daily occurance
I purchased an auto door - which I love for the mornings!!! and they come down the ramp no probs, still won't go up unless even a bit of encouragement ie one hand behind them and one to the side, and my up up up up up nightly chat
Also... there's only one lady laying atm, in the said sandbox!!!
Could it be a ventilation problem?
I've only got 3 silkies
I clean the coop daily,Theres mite and lice powder in there, im completely on that, I poop pick daily, there's DM in there, fresh straw etc etc perches, boxes, I've studied and tried, I honestly don't know what I can do more!!!
