I have 12 that are 4 weeks old and 6 that are 3 weeks. I left the 3 weekers inside so I divided up the 12 at 4 each outing. We would go outside for 20 minutes play bring them in and take out another 4 and so on. I did this 3 or 4 times so I spent the whole day rotating chicks and bringing them back inside and back out again.

Everyone stayed very close only 2 ran from me. Everyone else I had to give a nudge to go play. They thought using me as a jungle gym was more fun

I have the same worry!
Mine are 2 weeks right now and it's raining, but I'd love to get them outside soon on a nice day, just worried about getting them back again.
Mine still are not crazy about me holding them. Do they need to be hand fed by me enough that they like me before we go outside?
Yard it way too big to play catch the chicken
great pics of your beauties! thanks for sharing
