Moving chicks to coop

[5138bug]

Hi All
My chicks are ready to move to coop. Should I move them during the day or at night?
Thanks for the info.

The day? Thats what I did. And remember you have to 'train' them to go into the coop at night and when you need them too.

How do you do that?

Well, every night before the sun went down I would corral them back into the coop and close it. Also, don't let them free range for 1-2 weeks and keep them in the coop the whole time so they know it's home. Its very simple and not hard, so it should be a piece of cake
