chicken won't go into Eglu

Recommended Posts

Hello:

I am new to this chicken life and am enjoying it so far....but could use a bit of advice.

 

I have had a Lemon Brahma hen and a cream Legbar hen for a few weeks and at the weekend added two Salmon Favorelle pullets and two lakenvelder females. All seem to get on fine apart from the odd peck....but one of the Favorelles won't go into the eglu at night. She just cowers underneath it until I get in and lift her out and put her in through the top. Any advice. Maybe she can't work out the ladder....but then all the rest do. She is very friendly and doesn't mind being handled but it would be easier if she jumped in with the rest of them. Any tips. Thanks . Keats
