We are a chick free home !!! They moved to outside.

The 6 girls have moved to the coop outside.
They seem to spend 60% of the time in the coop.
They run around and dig in the sand in the run, but like to lay down in the coop.
Will they grow out of this or is it normal?

Every time I go into the run to do some thing...They are out in a flash to see what I did after I leave!

From my experience, they'll get more and more comfortable out in their run over the next few days/weeks. They'll end up sun bathing out there and taking dust baths. Mine spend equal time inside and outside but it really all depends on where the sun is They follow it around the coop all day long.
