First day outside

[Katy]

I moved some of my 7 week old chicks outside to another pen today for the first time. It's an assorted group which includes my first blue orps.

They look so happy!

Mine got to go outside for the first time a few days ago. They really loved playing in the sunshine! Well today it is blizzarding and they are not happy!

Beautiful birds, Katy. What ever happened to those funny colored Marans?

Those are some cute chicks, Katy! Mine are 1 week behind yours. I opened the door to their part of the coop and let them "freerange" today. They didn't get more than 4 feet away from the door, but seemed to have a good time scratching in the dirt.

You have a nice looking crop of chicks there!

I put the babies I hatched this week out in the yard today. They have had a blast. It is in the 80's here and the sun makes it feel warmer. They have played and flopped and slept. So much fun to watch.

I actually took some pix of them today too! They were both roos...just of course!

This is the one that was lightest as a chick.

And this guy was the darker of the two

Oh my goodness they are big!!!! I can't believe in five more weeks my babies will be that big!!!! Their brooder i have for them is going to be too small very very soon.

Eureka! The "gawky teenager"! What breed of chicken is that? That's what mine are, only I have not been able to post a pic and find out what they are.

Your chicks are awesome!
