How long before I introduce the insoluable grit, my chicks are 1-5 days old now and there is no broody hen to show them. Also when would it be appropriate to introduce them to the outdoors supervised of course, they are living in my plastic swimming pool in the house until I can get the coop built.
So following up on this post my 11 yr old son just won 5 chicks from the fair and here we are starting a coop. We don't know the sexes and they could be as old as 6 days now. They are currently occupying our plastic pool now and we need to build a coop and get the proper supplies. Any advice...
