At what age should I let my chicks have some outside time?

[Chicky Lover]

I have chicks that are two weeks old and they are becoming adventurous, so I was wondering at what should I let them have a little trip outside??

Absolutely. Just make sure they are protected from hawks and crows and other ground predators, have protection from chill breezes and direct sunlight. Watch for signs of chilling and bring them indoors when you see them huddling.

Okay thanks for the advice!

Yep I let mine out starting at just days old as long as they’re protected and it is sunny we had a crow take one a couple years ago so I learned quick they need more than just a fence. Here’s my make shift run not the best but it’ll keep out birds of prey and cats perfect for day trips

Ok thanks.
