    My chicks moved outside- are they okay?

    Thanks everyone!! I went out to check on them this morning, and they were just fine. They were huddled together, but I am thinking it's fine with the lamp- and temps are supposed to be in the mid-70's today. Ahhh --- relief!!!!

    My chicks moved outside- are they okay?

    We moved our babes outside today since the freezes are probably over. 6 of them, are now in a dog crate in our shed. They are 3 weeks old. I hope they will be okay. They were making a HUGE mess inside and making lots of noise. Woke me up several times last night, so I had had it. I put their...

    My babies are growing up!

    Cool! I kind of look forward to our move too...It will be bittersweet. Mine just turned 1 week today, though- so I am thinking we have at least 3 more weeks.

    Dogs and Chickunz.

    Thanks, all. I have definitely noted your advice and will be keeping her from them! They will be in a pen outside, so she won't be able to get to them. (as long as everything goes as planned) No dog around the chicks!! Thanks again!
