Thanks! I did the night time thing when i put my Cornish X in there for the few weeks before butchering it worked out well. I think i may set them in a dog cage next to the run so they can see each other everyday this week.(bringing them in at night) and this weekend ill introduce them to the coop.
I have a Questions. I have 3 EE's in my coop now that are roughly a year old and have 4 other hens/chicks i have been raising (2EE/2BR) that are roughly the same height that are 11 weeks old. When can I introduce them into the coop?

Hey Bucks!!!! Quick question this is my first year with Chickens. I have 6 EE hens at about 20 weeks when do you guys usually start to winterize your coop? I live in Lorain county closer to the lake.
