If I were you I would only feed them normal pellets during the day, then at night for a few days brilliant treats - mixture of corn & oats & cooked rice or cooked pasta, anything they really will go for BUT only give that to them an hour before bed, feed it to them as near to the coop you want them to be in at night. Once they get used to going to bed where you want them to you can do treats every other day then avery three days. Although it is nice to give them treats every day they will love you more for it. lol. Thats what I would try , we have always been lucky so far & our chooks have always gone to the right place. Good luck. Jane & co

I have moved them twice to our coop.. even moved the coop to our front pasture about 1/2 a football field away in front of our house. this time I left them in the coop for 4 days. They seem to waddle right back to the same location.. Can anyone offer me any advice please
