I doubt they'll be happy at first when you put them in there for a few days, but if it's got plenty of room, is well-ventilated and that's where their food and water is, they'll adjust. They may not use a roost right away or ever, but I do believe that once you let them out again they'll go in for the night. What kinds of behavioral problems are you worried about? Either they'll adjust and sleep in the coop, or they won't, and then the coop will be nice and fresh for your next batch of chickens. Once the weather gets cooler, they may appreciate it more.
