they sound adorable! can you upload some pics to show me them? if i see them i can give better opinions :)
you will LOVE watching them peck around the ground for the first time AND giving them supervised outdoor time here and there will familiarize them with the outdoors for when they do actually integrate fully to outdoor living. wow that sounded like a mouth full! lol i learned that when my babies spent their first night out in the coop/run they FREAKED out when the sun was going down. they didnt know what to do lol i literally had to usher them into the coop and lock it up. they screamed for about 5 - 10 mins than settled down. they will get used to that after a few days lol when i wake up the first thing i do is go outside and let them out of their coop. i also make sure they have fresh water and food throught the whole day. chickens need tons of fresh water at their disposal. im actually in the middle of making another one of my home-made self watering systems for the coop at night. that way they dont make a watery mess and can still get a drink at night while being locked up. its important they drink whenever they want. i will sit down later today and send you a PM with a sort of step by step what i did with my chicks to make life easier on them when integrating to the outdoors. i have learned everything i know from experience and from bothering others on here for help lol this site has been great to me and i would love to return the favor and help another member when i can :)
take care and we will talk later this evening!
allison
