i have 10 rirs total, 2 about 1 month old and 8 about 2 1/2 weeks old. I also have 4 around 1 month old silkies.
I am planning to move them outside soon, and was wondering if i need to do anything special. I heard somewhere you are supposed to leave them in the coop (no outside time) for a week, is that true? is there anything else I have to do?
also, what material do you recommend using in the coop as bedding? I was thinking either pine or wheat straw, and then someone told me sand is also good. should i use one of those or is there another one that is better?
thanks
julia
