Woohoo @BY Bob That went great. I put them all in the play pin at first, then propped up one side so they could go in and out. The browns found their way to the coop and the 2RedLH & 2Orpingtons I had to heard a bit toward the others, but they made it. They liked the open space and ran around the coop and sat in the sun.
I noticed the 4 littles were tired so in the house they went and I left the Browns to play. They got up on their little roost and down & up & down Lololololo
I just brought them in and the all are sleeping...........................

So Iam off to run the mower

Of course! Who would be comfortable or go to sleep without their terry cloth mattress underneath and on each side a living striped heat pack for the night?

I have been wondering when and how I am going to transition them, the Browns are ready and liking the coop, but the tiny ones scream when they are separated from the others, so I have not let the browns stay over night in the coop, the reds are to small of a bird even though they are going to be 2 weeks on Tues., I will have to balance this one. the browns tend to get the zoomies and the brooder is not big enough for that
