Not sure which forum this belongs in.
Anyway, we are building a new coop. We have 3 RIRs who will be a year old at the end of May. We will be getting 3 more chickens possibly in July or later in the summer and needed a bigger coop to accommodate 6 chickens. Is there a certain way we should introduce them to their new coop or do we just do it and expect them to be a little flustered for a few days? Their current coop is in a covered run and we will have to remove it to put the new one in when it's finished because both obviously won't fit. Will we have to retrain them where to lay their eggs and where "home" is? The transition will be sometime in the next few weeks.
