Pick them up and pop them in :) You may need to do it for a few nights but they should soon get the hang of it :D

Have you checked to see if your house has any nasties in it ?

Probably not, but always worth a check.

How long have your chicks been outside? are they off heat?

Pop a torch in the house at bedtime (if too bright, cover the end with a sock or something). Worked for me.
