1st time chicken owner here. We moved our RIR chicks to the coop 2 weeks ago. They are 5 weeks old and have only been in the coop. Today I opened the pop door and left it open for 5 hours. Not one chick came out into the run. I’m assuming that if I do that daily eventually they will come out. Food and water is currently only in the coop as they were confined there while my son completed the run. It’s very large, but we blocked off most of it to give them a small run as a start until they go in the coop at night by themselves. Should I move the food and water outside or provide a second water and food area outside while also providing it inside? Thanks.
