Can 1 week olds go out to play today ?

[giasmom]

Thats basically my questions. Can I take 1 wk olds out to play ? Its 80 degrees here today. What would be the downfalls to taking them out under supervision ?

Sure you can! Dont turn them loose - keep them in a closed hoop pen made of wire net and supervise their outing.
But they will love it and you will have fun.

Consider building them a sun cage, just a raised box covered with wire. Mine is on wheels!

Okay so if I do this will I need to put them on grit, seeing as they will be eating grass ?

They should be able to find enough small pebbles on there own in the dirt. Mine never have a problem.

What he said. They'll find little bits of dirt and sand you can hardly see.
