    What age to allow chicks to roam the yard?

    Well, thank you for the unexpected twist that you had on the crows. Perhaps that's the right angle to take. The crows can watch out for hawks better than I can.

    What age to allow chicks to roam the yard?

    OH NO! I hadn't even considered the crows!!!! Dang, it looks as though I chosen a species that is awfully near the bottom of the food chain. I'm going to have to quit my day job and oil up the shotgun :D

    I've got the summer to learn about winter temps & loss of daylight so... I'll hold off on that for now. This is my first flock (6 hens) I didn't even know that there was such a thing as perch training. :D Go ahead and point me to the right article to get that lesson started. I'm pretty sure...

    LOL chasing chicks :D That doesn't sound like fun.. I'm confident that I will have my own stories to pass on eventually, bound to screw up in working with little bodies that have their own brains and don't speak my language. Thank you for sharing.

    those babies look tiny in the open area. I'm looking forward to mine venturing out first time this weekend. Thanks for the input.

    Wow, thank you all for the kind responses. This is so much great information! My new flock turned 2 weeks yesterday so each day I'm seeing noticeable changes and the questions just come flooding through my mind. I certainly take these little lives that are in my care seriously and you peeps ;)...

    Thank you... I do understand your points. Those little things have some real get-up-and-go! I will certainly account for that. I would still appreciate your opinion as to what age they can be introduced to the back yard.

    At what age should chicks be introduced to the yard even if it's only for a few minutes or hours? When can they eat bugs, grass etc?
