Getting 2 Mille Fleur D'uccle chicks soon

[KikiDeAnime]

I'm buying 2 chicks from a lady as her family will be moving to Vermont(I think?) soon and I have been wanting D'uccle chickens for a while! $20 for both was a deal I wasn't going to pass up!
I'll post photos of them once I get them.

Both are being sold as straight run, which I'm fine with as from the photos they're aging the same and their combs are the same so I'm sure both are girls but still could be wrong. EDIT: They will actually be 3 weeks old this week, not 4 weeks like I first thought!

I'm really excited to finally own Mille Fleur D'uccle chicks

Doing a happy dance for you! d'Uccles remain my very favorite bantam breed. Better personalities are difficult to find.

Looking forward to pictures!

So I made a mistake on their age. They will be 3 weeks old this week, not 4 weeks.
I also didn't realize how tiny they were! I'll get photos in the morning as I want to let them get settled in first before I shove a phone in there.

Here they are!
I haven't finished setting everything up for them, which is why it looks empty.
They haven't touched the water yet but were excited about the food.

Update:
Almond and Cashew are little stinkers! I've had to refill their food dish 3 times today and its only now 7:30AM! They keep trying to take dust bathes in their food.

So I was wondering something.
Saturday thru Monday will be around 40-43°F with sunshine. Can I take them out on those days for a few minutes?

I'm not use to having 3 week old chicks before springtime weather so I don't know when is a good time to let them go outside.
