The babies are a month old and spent their first day outside today! About 5 hours. Everything seemed to go very well. All the older ones were curious and courteous. No crying, squawking, or aggression. It gets cold fast when the sun goes down, so I brought them back inside before sunset.
I ran a mile of extension cord so they could have their heat plate. They did use it quite a bit. Temps were 50 to 60 most of the day. Forecast is for more of the same the next week! I moved the cage for tomorrow to where they will get more sun. I had planned to put the cage inside the run - but it is covered and gets little to no sun.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE FULLY FEATHERED AND I CAN REMOVE THEIR HEAT PLATE?
