This is my first time raising chicks and I have a mama and 4, one week old chicks locked away from the other chickens ( they can see each other through wire) and was wondering when it would be ok to let the new family out to stretch their wings and explore a brave new world? They have a great mama who I am positive will protect them from any harm. She pecks my hand something terrible when I feed and water them! Does anyone have any advice on this.
Oh one more thing. Will it harm them if they nibble some of the layer feed that has fallen out of the hanging feeder to the ground. I can try to scrape it all up if need be. Thank in advance for any thoughts on this.
