I got my chicks' run finished and built them a little breezeway to it from the coop w/ pallets. I used scratch and BOSS to lure them out of the coop for the first time in 3 weeks and...they sat down on the pallet to sun themselves!!

Later I waited a few hours and saw 4-5 brave hens in the run but no more than 5-7' from the entrance. CHICKENS!!

I guess like anything else keep allowing them to get more and more comfortable and this will improve, won't it? I need them out of the coop to do some regular cleaning and maintainance. Any suggestions from the members?
 
Chickens are afraid of change, period. Give em time and they'll overcome their fears.
