    Introducing ONE new hen

    We have a small flock, only 3. Now 2 since we had to cull one yesterday after 4 days of illness and isolation. One of the two is broody right now and hatching out 5 babies in a couple weeks.

I'm having the hardest time figuring out how to do this without breaking down and building a run that's 6' high. We're still in the planning stages, so any advice is helpful. We figured...

    When can chicks play outside?

    It's currently about 57° here, is it too chilly to let my 1.5-2 week old chicks play in the grass for a bit?
