    Dummies won't go in the coop

    I have 7 young chickens, about 4 months old (I got them when they were 2 months old) and no matter what I do they won't go in the coop. At night they sit on the roosts outside. They will look in but not go in. They need to start before they start laying. Any suggestions on how to get them in there?

    My coop, modest, but efficient
