6w new in outdoor coop

[michele1978]

we put our 6w old chicks out in there coop Saturday night this is there 3rd night. The first two nights I closed them in the actual house. They stayed in there the first day were to scared to come out. The second night once it was dark they went inside so I closed the door to keep them in there til morning to keep them warm. Will tonight has been the watmest night and I went out to close them in there house. Well it's pitch dark out and 6 of the 8 of them are sitting out in the bottom of the run. They are closed in the inclosure so nothing can get them. There house has a heat lamp in there so should I not worry about them going in there? It's 63 degrees outside right now and going down to 55 tonight. I am guessing they will go in on there own if there cold enough? Or should I try and grab them all and stick them in there?

I would stick em in the house as chickens can't see after dark.

They are all happy to be in there chicken house now. They started chowing down on food once I put them in there.
