Yup, takes a few days. One morning it'll just be time. Caution......if your coop is elivated and has a ramp, be sure you are there in the evening when she takes them back inside. New chicks have problems with following mom to high places and some moms don't get it. that could leave one or more outside and certain death from chill. Have fun........Pop
