They've been in this area for about 3 weeks. We let them out in the morning, and put back in the shed at night. (still waiting to get our "real" coop built) They have fresh food and water and lots of little hidey places. I'm hoping they will soon devour the ticks! I will wait. They are cute...
1st time to post - and I've not seen an answer on a quick search. We have just started raising chickens. We have 6 pullets about 2 1/2 months old. (not sure the breed - they were from TSC - 3 reddish/brown and 3 white) They don't seem to do much - just sorta sit under the kids' climber toys...
