[CHICKENS-101] Another new flock question

 

I brought home 8 pullets and they are doing well. That evening when I went to check on them, some were in the nesting boxes and some in the corner on the floor of the coop. I picked them all up and placed them on the roosts. The next morning, they were still on the roosts so I guess they slept there all night since the droppings board was full. This morning, I checked on them just at daybreak and three were in the nesting boxes and five were on the roosts. Should I just give it time and they'll all eventually sleep on the roosts? I found an egg yesterday afternoon so I know at least one is starting to lay. Should I go out every night and place them on the roosts if they are on the floor or in the nesting boxes?
