We attached the run/tractor yesterday and let them out for the first time. Last night, they wouldn't got into the coop at dark. DH finally climbed into the run and put them in the coop. They stayed in. Tonight, I tried it, but everytime I put one in, he/she would be out before I could get another one. So I gave up. Any suggestions on how I can get them to go in? I'm afraid to let them out because of critters (racoons, dogs, foxes) that come into the yard at night and the run isn't really critter proof.
