Day 2 update:
The Sussex light was the first out the coop in the morning, I had to convince the rest out into the run.
I had to refill the water station because they had all the water! (Seems like a lot but that's a good thing)
They spent most of the day foraging around the run with the occasional temptation of going up the steps to the perch.
When it came to the evening, they actually all went in on their own accord, though the Sussex chickens were herding the others up and making sure they went in.
The last remaining chickens out were one Maran and one Sussex, the Sussex followed the Maran around until she eventually went in, followed by the last Sussex.
Interesting that the Sussex girls seem to be in charge of the pack so far, the people I bought them from thought the Marans were more assertive!
The Black Tails are definitely the more submissive breed though
