Hello- chicken newbie here

[CaliforniaPeeping]

I *think* we are between 5 & 6 weeks now. They are getting feathers and getting bigger so fast! I'm concerned I might have a cockerel in the mix but I think it's still too early to tell but one of them, who I was already calling Clyde, might have some pointy butt feathers.

It's warm here so I left them outside, I've been bringing their big cage on wheels (ferret nation 2 story cage) into my detached garage at night but they did well last night.

Here are some photos of them having supervised free time fun in their current area.

Oh yeah, I put up misters that keep this area cool but don't get their cage wet and only the morning sun shines on their cage and not all parts and onl for a few hours when it's still cool.

Both my kids will be back in school in a few weeks and then we are converting the metal shed into a coop. I was going to get rid of it but the previous homeowners poured concrete in the bottom so it's not easy to remove and we shall work with it!
