 I had a swarm move into my nuc/bait have 8 or 10 days ago. My plan is to move them into a bigger KTBH that will be placed just a few feet from nuc. I'm gonna wait another 14 days then make the move. Does this sound like a good plan. Thanks in advance as I'm just learning.

It depends on the space they are already filling. check out the hive and determine if 14 days after the already 10 days is appropriate. They can actually fill a nuc faster than most would figure. but I think you'll be ok probably.

My nuc is 14 bars half the size of my KTBH but I'm gonna use a follower board, so there space will not change
