Nights are still around mid 30s

I'm thinking my birds are ready to move out to the coop. Any thoughts?

Here is an updated picture of him. Just wondering if any one knows the breed.

I have a, I'm guessing 3 week, old duckling the flips over on her back when startled. If I right her she lays her neck back against her back for a few minutes then is fine. I usually move her to a seperate area until she calms. Tonight she kept trying to jump out of the tote so she seems fine...

My daughter let them play in a warm bath for awhile. She said they did not really swim, but dunked their heads and played. She also said that the duckling wasn't making the sound anymore, and seemed happier. I will still purchase some nutria drench and look for the vet rx also. I am going to...

Chose this chick along with three others out of a mixed breed bin at TSC. I ended up with what I am pretty sure are two Gold Laced Wynadottes, and a RIR. This chick I am unsure of though and know it might still be to young to tell, but would love any idea of the breed and age as it is bigger...

I am getting ready to start my first backyard flock. I have been looking into having chicks shipped from some hatcheries and also thinking about purchasing from a local store like Tractor Supply or CAL Ranch. I would like a variety of layers, but am not sure how to choose a purchasing method...
