Hi. Newbie here. We have 8 girls, almost 6 weeks old. We are ready to move them from their brooder to the hen house. We have read conflicting information; everything from keeping them in there non-stop for 3 days (Urban Chicken) to 2 weeks (Chicken Chick). My question is this: They enjoy being outside in a puppy pen (we raise German Shepherds) which I move throughout the day, to give them fresh ground. Can we still put them out during the day, or do they need to be in the house exclusively? If so, for how long. I want them to go back to their house at sunset once they are old enough to be out in the (fenced) yard. If it matters, they are RIRs, BPRs, GLWs, and Welsummers. Thanks. Karen
