It might take a few days for them to trust their new home enough to venture out of the safety of the coop. It's a whole new, scary world out there with lots of different sounds to get used to. Even after a couple of weeks of being in the run, mine would hurry back in the coop if they heard blue jays or crows in the trees over the run. They instinctively know that danger can come from the sky.
