    My chickens love being out in rain as long as it isn't raining hard and not cold.

    When can babies mix with adults?

    I put my babies in coop in A dog kennel for 1 week and then let them mingle with big babies. My rooster takes control of babies and he shows them everything they need and my black Jersey giant hen protects them. I have never had a problem doing it that way.

    One chick hasn't learned to go back in the coop at dark...

    I have 3 little hens that won't go in their coop at night. They just like the extra attention. She may have some sight problems. I feed and water them in coop until they go out into the run. Mine go out in the run at 3-4 weeks depending on weather.

    What age to allow chicks to roam the yard?

    I take mine out at a week and put them in a outside coop and run. If my hen is taking care of them she takes them out anytime from 3 day on. I let them out all day. They have a small coop and run inside my big run so the others get to see and not touch experience too. I do sit with them and...
