    Moving meat chickens outside

    Hello. We are in Michigan and have about 50 meat chickens that are almost 3 weeks old. They haven't been under the heat lamp in a few days and are doing great. Right now they are in our garage.

    Swollen eye

    I don't know what happened to the tail. I haven't noticed any feather pickers in the flock. Those two are the only ones that do not have full tail feathers. Out of the 7 chicks in the flock these two are the smallest and last to fully feather out.

    Bees

    I am pretty sure they are honey bees. And yes they won't go in when the bees are in there. I have read several places that chickens don't mind bees but that doesn't seem like the case. They normally go in and out of the coop all day as well as free range but sine the bees showed up they stay...
