Today I intend to put our chicks, raised indoors for 5 1/2 weeks, in their coop outside.
They are fully feathered. Today will be in the low 60s but the next few days will be in the 80s.
Here's my question. Do I put down shavings INSIDE the coop?
Do I close off the nesting boxes, as I've read to do this until they begin showing nesting interest?
Do I put food and water in the coop itself, or leave food and water in the run?
I was planning on leaving the food and water outside when I close them in coop for the night. They make a terrible mess of their food and water still.
Thoughts?
