I've had some adult chickens in the past but new to babies my husband surprised me with 9 isa browns 1 white and 2 black and white chicks they are all fully winged feathered and the Isa's ate getting feathers on there backs and heads we have been keeping them in the house to we got the coop done do they still need to be under a light at night?? The coop has pine shavings down and a couple seem to be roosting on a bored the others are in corners together....is this normal for first night out?

Thwy sound young from the way you described the featherz. my young ones huddle or find something close to the ground to perch on. As they get older they will perch higher.
 
Hi and welcome to BYC I am glad you could join us. Make yourself at home and ask as many questions as needed, I and many others are here to help. I would still use a heat light for them at night add how big is this roost as certain roosts used for young chicks that are still growing can end up with a chick with curled toes.
