Geese wont sleep in run

[Gazergirlstar]

hey i have 2 Embden geese (m/f ) they are about 6 months old , even though we have tried they wont sleep in a coop at night. they love to sleep right next to our back door and under my rose bushes, In the spring/ summer this isn't an issue but since temps are starting to drop . i live in the midlands in SC so we don't get tons of snow but i am lost on what to do to keep them warm from the frost and ice we do get ? Any ideas welcome !

How big is the coop?

Also just don’t ask them kindly, they won’t go in the coop. I found positive re enforcement helps with ducks and geese.

Just get them some lettuce or grapes and lure them in there until they go in there themselves

i dont remember the excite size but it was big enough for the 2 of them to be comfortable , im thinking maybe because its on the back side of the yard and they want to be at the back door .. we are looking into more options, i just hated hearing them honk in distress after being locked up

It’s hear them honk and cry or worry constantly about them out in the cold
