Greetings everybody

We have 3 WYANDOTTE bantam females
2 weeks ago we introduced 3 OEG bantam females .

They OEG's every evening goes on the veranda rail and attempting to roost there.

We pick them up when it getting dark and put them in the pen.

Is there any way to accustom them to roost in the pen ?

The OEG's are 1 year old, the WYANDOTTE bantam are 2 years old.

any feedback will be appreciated.

Thank you

Lock them in the coop earlier and make sure they stay in IE a roof on the coop ect.....

Thank you for the feedback.

They locked in the pen for few days.
Let see if they will register the pen has their Roosting place.

Greetings
We took the advice.
They are locked in the pen for 2 -3 weeks.

Thank you for all the replays.

Best regards

Update:
After 2 weeks and 2 days, we allow the OEG's to free range.
In the night they are coming to the pen to roost, not the veranda.

as we post this message it is probably the 5th day
that they exhibit this consistent Beauvoir.

Again Thank you All.

Best Regards
