I would put them in their coop (with a little bit of food and water) so they know where home is and then let them out in the morning  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

me too and dont be tempted to keep looking at them- they will be just fine.  Keeping them inside for a while enforces that the coop is their new home and they are then likely to run to it and go in at bedtimes
3 dogs, 8 chickens, 4 rabbits 2 guinea pigs, 10 quail, 2 fish and a demanding daughter who has gone to uni and left me with 29 animals to care for!!=)

you will really enjoy them and their eggs! We started with three a year ago and am now up to eight, they all have their own characters and are lovely to be around
