3 days ago my 3 chicks became pullets, when do they enter the main chicken house ?

Agreed with CR. Female chicks are pullets, and male chicks are cockerels until they are a year old. Some consider it foolish to get hung up on semantics. But, using the correct terminology helps all to understand what is being said, and what the behavioral or management issues are.

Well I know about the names, that chickens have when growing up already, but it still fun.

This being my second time for chicks / pullets, first time around I had chicks and broody in the main chicken house and moved the other chickens to another chicken house, which I no longer have.

Oh well I'll kick then out of the brooder box / nest once the get to big for it.

My #1 broody is still taking her chicks up to the nest. She has taken over the raised broody pen, which has plenty of room for her and her 10 babies which are 5+ weeks old now. I think that tonight, I'll block her and babies out of that broody box, and out of all the rest of the nest boxes. Time for her to take them to the roost. I'm tired of cleaning up their poo every morning.

I had one very small chick recently get left alone when momma and its siblings went to roost. He was too tiny to get up there. So that first night, I brought him inside. (wasn't necessary, but I didn't like him sleeping in a dark corner alone) Second night, the next smallest sibling stayed on a lower roost with him. They found a separate roost that suits them. I added a few more branches to give everyone a spot.
