My two and three week old chicks will be outside in the run all day for the first time today. I feel like i just sent my kids to kindergarden. They have met my big girls (13.5 weeks) and seem to have everything worked out. (Big girls occasionally get a beakfull of baby down to show the kids to move out of their way). Everyone is dustbathing and scratching away! They have three waterers (coming in at 2 gallons), chick crumbles (4 cups in 3 feeders and scattered to encourage scratching), and i tore up some mustard greens and pepper plants for them to pick at. They are figuring out the roosts, and are laying in the sun.
*sniff sniff* my baby chicks are growing up!
