Silkie help

[Becadover]

Hi All,
I bought two silkie hens on Monday and they haven’t been out of the coop yet is this normal?I don’t want to pick them up and frighten them just yet as I want them to get used to me. There’s already a few other chickens in the enclosure but they are only young so it’s not like they are frightened of them as they are bigger. Can anyone help

Probably just need to settle in and get used to their surroundings. Try coaxing them out with treats.

Thank you, I’ve closed the coop door and they seem to be eating, thank god!
