Transitioning chicks to go out to the coop

[Msav]

Hi all,

I have a question. I read that you are suppose to bring the chicks outside to get them used to being outside and adjusting to the cold.
How are you suppose to do this with 45 chicks. I can see this being possible with 5 - 10 chicks. how do you keep track of this many chicks.

I am thinking I will just put them in the coop and keep them in there for a week and then let them out and see how it goes. I am not looking forward to catching the ones that decide they do not want to go back into the coop.

any advice?

Thanks in advanced.

Just put them in the coop. Do you have a run yet?
