Adding chickens to the hen house

I read what I could about what to do when introducing chickens to the house for the first time. So I closed the pop hole and put the birds in the house, they were obviously pretty stressed but I opened the door after about 2-3 hours and they stayed in the house for another 30-40 minutes before they plucked up the courage to come out. As soon as they did come out they quickly started scratching around and feeding.

I forgot to mention they were “Goldline” (2) hens and I had no idea how long we would have to wait before they started laying. I was really pleased that evening at dusk they both went into the house good as gold.
