Our chicks are 3 weeks old and still under heat lamps. We moved our chicks out to garage (still in box with heat lamp food water etc) and they attack any insect that comes close. I'm staying home with pets and chicks this weekend while husband and kids go up north where we are over run with ticks in the woods. We are hoping to bring chicks up to eat ticks but feel they are too young to go up yet. Any ideas from the BYC family? This is our first experience owning chickens and we are transitioning from house in subdivision to middle of nowhere with lots of land.
