Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

Chickens are naturally scared of new places and things. Don't force them out, when they feel comfortable, they will venture out eventually.

Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!
 
Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow

We've had to make our youngens move from a temp coop to the main coop on the complete other side of the yard. Usually, it takes 4-5 days in our experience. We put a light in the doorway of the main coop so they will generally gravitate toward it at night. Good luck! They'll get it one of these days!
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
As you've already mentioned, they don't like change. They actually hate it. They will eventually acclimate and come out. Feeding them outside will help. Do you have an attached secure run?
