Well we hit just over 50 degrees and had some sun! Figured maybe Id let the 4 week old chick stretch their legs. They had lots of fun. I think we were out there for 2 hours. The chicks Scratched, pecked, ran, chirped and seemed to be finding lots of stuff to eat. Then ended the day with dustbaths. They were just like big chickens! They also kept a close eye on me and stayed close. They were easy to roundup once they completed their dustbaths and needed naps. Wish I could have got a whole group shot that came out good.

Here some pics, hope you enjoy
