I have three chickens, all four months old. I have never had trouble getting them to go into their coop until recently. For several nights in a row, it took about an hour to get them to go in. Because of this, I kept them in their coop for a full week. I let them out for a few hours in the evening, and they went right in. Then I went away for the weekend, and they were in their coop for another two days. When I let them out the next day, they would not go into their coop again. I am new to raising chickens, so any advice would be appreciated. Just FYI, I followed the recommendations for size of coop, so I don't think that size is a problem. They sometimes go into their coop during the day, so I don't think there are mites for anything like that. I clean poop out of the hen house every day (but not the run), so I don't think it is dirty. HELP!!!
