I just put my 6 week old chicks in their enclosed coop to sleep. This is the first night sleeping in it, they have been in the coop during the day but come inside the house to sleep at night. They are now body slamming the door and freaking out. Should I bring them back into the house to sleep and let them get used to it for a few days?
 
If it is warm enough they will settle down and snuggle up to each other after darkness sets in. Best of luck. Half of my chicks at 6 weeks would sit out on the cold instead of coming into the coop. Took me about a week of going out after dark and picking them up amd placing them in the coop. They will figure it out.
