Donna C Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I would try shining a tourch into coop, they often follow it or pop them up. They will eventually get the hang of ot and it is cold tonight. How old are they? mine are 12/13weeks and they go to bed before it's even started to get dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I wouldn't worry if it takes a few days for them to get used to going in by themselves - I recently introduced a new hen who had to be put to bed for almost a week before she got the hang of it, but now trots in happily with the others.
