Well then, if they have an enclosed run, they'll come out soon. I can't free range mine for safety reasons. Now that the cattle panel run is done, I carry them one by one to it. Their enclosed coop/run has a sand floor on concrete. So they don't get to dig up bugs. That's why we built the moveable run. Your hens will adjust. Just give them a little time. A little advice about dishes, they will scratch at them and get food tossed put, also they toss food out with their beaks. I was so frustrated at the wasted feed. I tackled this by making a gravity feeder. Not near the waste. I'm not saying to do that, I'm just saying if you have a dish on the ground, you'll see it get feed scratched out. Also, mine kept kicking dirt in the. Waterer. Finally got that took care of by putting a waterer up on a lawn mower tire. That made it high enough they don't kick dirt in it. They can poop in them too if not high up. The apparent rule of thumb is have waterer as high as their back.
