Moving to the coop

[mldlm]

Hello again! Someting I wish I knew up front about chickens and learned how to use to my advantage is that chickens are great at routine. They can be trained. Use the same calls, use a few scrambled eggs to aide in their learning and love for you. Setting the routines up at the beginning makes your chicken life easier. Getting them to put themselves up at night was a biggie to me. Leaving them in the coop a few days helps with this routine. At least it did for me. I do not have an auto coop door so if I happen to not be at home right at dusk, they have at least put themselves up and I just have to shut the door. Good luck! Chickens are really fascinating birds.

Thank you, this helps

Update! A few pics of my chicks outside in a temporary shelter/cage. Still trying to figure out what kind of chickens the black ones are…hoping these pics will help. The two white ones are leghorns. Thinking of putting them in the coop overnight tonight. Florida nights now are low 50’s and days are low to mid 80’s. They are roughly 5 weeks and a couple of days. Thoughts?

Temps are good for moving out, especially if they've been fully weaned off heat for more than a couple of days.
