First chicken try

[ladahl]

We just moved our chickens out into the coop last night from the brooder (5 weeks old)

They survived!

I'm keeping the heat lamp on at night for another week or so

69.00 at Academy. I went around it with mesh hard plastic.

I put the playpen inside the tent with a bunch of homemade perches and toys. 14x12 and they love it and get to fly high.

So we are able to let them out with no issues. The tend to stay pretty close to their coop ...

It's funny to watch them chase each other for

Thanks for the comments guys. I have a small run ( 3'x3'x10') made to attach when they're a bit bigger , but I'm wondering if any of you have good suggestions that would work with our coop?

Thanks in advance

Is there any cool ideas for easy temporary runs that can used during the day and stored at night?
