New flock

[tmosscurrier]

I have a new flock of four chickens. They came together from a larger flock. They went into our coop with our rooster. My question is, we normally free range our girls, how long should I wait for them to acclimate before letting them out to range? The goal being that they will go back to the coop to roost.
Thanks for any help.

2 weeks. Always let any new birds to get settled in for two weeks. Afterwards, they can free range and will return to their coop with no problems.
