This is my girls 2nd night out...they were NOT happy about going inside the coop last night. They wanted to stay out and play!!

My babies were just 3 weeks oldyesterday and they spent their first night in the coop last night. The run isn't finished yet, so they're going to be inside for a couple more weeks. I had rigged up a heat lamp and brought their brooder (without the lid) out to put under the lamp in case they needed supplemental heat. But it was so hot here yesterday, that I didn't turn on the lamp last night and this morning when I checked they were having a great time. Some were helping one to peck a spot on the wall and two others were taking flight lessons across the coop while several others were sharing a cool drink around the waterer. They love their new coop!

Mine never made a sound. They just looked at me like, "It's about time man!" LOL They are in the basement in their broodrs right now. It's about 100' F out there, and they are loving being in the cool basement. They sure did not want to come in at first.

I am glad yours were okay, and don't worry; they will quiet down.

Congrats! It is VERY hard to leave them out in the coop overnight the first night....I know I checked on ours several times, too, so let your husband know there are others out there just like him.

Congratulations! And I *love* that your husband checked on them *several* times in the night. Sooo sweet!
