Chickens Make It to the Coop!

We have been building a coop for our 5 young chickens and we finally were able to move them into it on Sunday!  They had been living in a plywood box in our garage for about 2 weeks so we were all happy to make the big move.  We placed them in the night roost portion of the coop first and locked them in there for awhile so they became familiar with that new environment.  Then we opened the door into the run.  Cautiously they looked out but weren't too anxious to go out into that big scary space.  I went into the coop and placed food all along the ramp and they eventually made their way out.  After a couple of hours they all made it all the way down the ramp and then made themselves at home.
