They sleep all huddled up in the corner by the pop door, completely ignoring the roosting bar just over their heads...
Even though they had no problem roosting in their brooder box...
I think they may be having problems getting used to the sand, and only gave in and came inside because it got dark outside. They'll have plenty of time to get used to it, because I neglected to do the, "lock 'em in for 36 hours so they'll imprint on the coop," step. It was too hot to leave them indoors during the day when we did the big move. So, now that we're experiencing a cool front (and I've increased the ventilation in the coop), I'm doing it now.
