Chicks in coop overnight

[mom4apc]

I have integrated my four babies with my two older hens and that has gone well. However, I only have had them outside during the day. I bring them back in to the garage at night. It's finally getting warmer over-night (mid 50's) and I'm wondering how I should go about having them start sleeping in the coop at night. I've thought of bringing their garage 'cage' in to the coop and introducing them that way, or should I just put them in one of the nesting boxes at dusk? I'm not sure how to go about it.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Bring the cage into the coop for them. Getting them started to sleep in the nests is a bad idea They will grow up with the habit and the nests will be dirty and then the eggs that are laid in them.
