Ha Ha some dont care about them and One of my older females Roxi wants to be a chicken hurder. Every time she see's me next to the brooder or see's the chickens outside she freaks out. I dont know if she wants to eat them, play or just case them around! Its really funny though.

I put mine in a coop with heat lamps. This pic was taken in the winter months.

How old were they?

They can go out, especially if you have a heat light where they can congregate if cold. Mine go out in the coop at about 3-4 weeks of age. Its quite a bit warmer here, but they have enough feathering to be fine. My 3 1/2 week olds are in an outside coop/run and I turned off the heat a couple of dats ago. They are fine. They go into the little enclosure if they get cold. Of course I have 26 of the little buggers so they can easily huddle to warm up.

I know this post is a throw back but how are those little buggers? Lol made me chuckle when I seen that...(little buggers)
