Just a vent (no pun intended lol)

Coops etc.

I have 16 chickens that are all basically 9 weeks old. 14 of them go in the coop no problem, 2 of them decide to try sleeping in the run. Every night. The same 2 every night, I have to go out to the run, kneel in chicken shit to get under the lofted coop, and put them inside before I close the door. I have a light in there that I turn on 30 minutes before sunset, with a 1hr timer. Doesn’t help. It’s been 2 weeks of this. You’d think they’d go in with everyone else but nooo 😂 not a huge deal, just WHY lol

They’re fine physically, I checked. Also watched a sped up video of one night starting when the first chickens go in until morning, no bullying indicated. They’re just a bit dim I guess 😅

Rant over
