Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Keep the food and water where ever they are hanging out. If they are generally outside, they are not going to go into the coop looking for food and water. Same with the coop...if they are mainly hanging out inside during the winter, leave food and water in the coop.

If these are new birds, they will be shy to come down out of the coop. Give them time to adjust to their new digs and they will venture out. If there is snow in the run, they will not want to step on it, so you will need to shovel your run.

Good luck with your flock and welcome to ours!
