Hi everyone, chicken newbie but I'm sure you know that from my many posts . We would like to start bringing out our will-be 5 week old chicks to their run for outside time next week. I am reading mixed things about them eating long grass and the possibility of impacted crop. The grass in the run is pretty long since it hasn't been cut and they haven't been out, it is easily as tall / taller than a 5 week old chick. Is this length of grass dangerous for them to be eating? Should I snip it shorter since they are so small still? They will have chick grit once they start going out. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
