The chicks that I have are 4 weeks old and all feathered out, they can fly and do all the time in face it is a fight to keep them in my brooder!
About 2 months ago I had a raccoon raid my flock and take it down to just 2 birds. They are all I have left and the reason why I am wondering if I could safely put the new ones out there. I have 8 chicks that would be going out there to a flock of just 2 birds now. So I didn't know if the numbers would make it different or if I still needed to wait and maybe make a small coop for them outside.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated as I know these babies would love to go outside and run around!
