Just put my 6.5 week chicks in the coop, yes yes we completely babied them in the house this long! Honestly it was my husband I had to explain why I turned the heat lamp off at 5 weeks. All 9 we're trying to fit into one nest box so I made them a box to huddle in. Someone told me to introduce the adults to the babies at dusk, is that right? My 2 hens seemed just scared of them and went to the opposite side of the coop and roosted. Will they be ok in the morning together?
Here they are on grass for the first time and checking out the coop.
