New Coop, New Chickens

[Belletower]

I've recently finished a brand new coop for my six hens. Also, I've been given another hen and a rooster. Last night, I moved my girls after bedtime to the new space and put the newbies in there too. I plan to leave them all together and cozy-like . For two more nights then let them free range the third morning ... I've still got the old coop in place ... It's tiny so I could up and move it. Any suggestions for ensuring old flock is used to new coop so I'm not chasing chickens every night?

After a few days they should get the hint. If not, try a few days longer. When I had a my broodies hatch chicks I put them in their own separate places inside for about 5 days. They stayed put until it was time to go back to general population and I allow mine to free range all day.
