Moving out to the coop

[RonC]

First day out at dark they were at the run gate ready to come inside to the brooder, had to put them in the coop with a light on. Second night they were at the gate again but with a little encouragement they went in. Third night they went in on their own at dark. So I would agree no need to lock them in the coop for 3 days.

I am so happy that this ? was posted, I have 4 week old silkies that I just put out for the 1st time this morning and they are digging it. I was going to ask, about leaving them in the coop over night and not bringing them in, but I think they should be fine its supposed to get down to 34* tonight the 50+ for the rest of the week with the lowest at night going down to 45*. They have been off the lamp for over a week now so that wont be a problem.
