For now, maybe you could put a box of hay where they are sleeping at on the ground. They would be able to go inside of it, and the hay in it would help to keep them warm overnight.

I actually have two baskets on the ground with pine shavings from when they lived in the brooder. They aren’t in it tonight they are laying at the opposite end of the coop maybe tmrw I’ll move the baskets to the front and see if that makes a difference. Thank you for the help!

That’s amazing! What are y’all going to name him?

Also have fun with the chickens! They are a handful but absolutely worth it.

Hello there and welcome to BYC! :frow

It's normal for babies to panic and do all kinds of crazy things until they feel secure in their surroundings. They will calm down as they mature.

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our community! :)
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
It's normal for the chicks to huddle together on the ground. I would fully bed down the coop. Eventually, when they get bigger and more comfortable in their new coop, they will make their way up to the roosts.
Good luck with your upcoming C-section.

Thank you! And South Florida. They hop up on the roosting poles during the day but tonight they are on the ground. How should I teach them?
