So inspired by your article. Thank you @aart 🤗

My light Brahma babes are 3 weeks and have been out in the run since they were 1 week, doing ‘you can see, but no touching’ with the big girls.

When I’m back from the long weekend travel, I’ll add their panic doors.

Thanks for your awesome article!

I just love this article and have read it several times over the years. Thank you @azygous !

I’m raising my third set of chicks up in Portland, ME. First mail-order babies, so started under a lamp. By day 4 we were taking field trips out to the big girl yard, supervised and with a baby-sized run + heat plate.

By day 6 (today) they’re happily outside all day and sleeping inside at night.

In another few days, I think they’ll be 💯 outdoor chicks 🐥
