Hi Is am a new member to backyard chickens. We had chickens growing up and haven't had any in 10 years so need some help!

I have 6 2 month old chicks doing very well. My question is they are in a closed coop. I have an attached closed in yard when can they go out to the closed yard?
Thank you,
Jibblet

Welcome! By 'closed coop' do you mean the actual henhouse part of the coop? The 'closed in yard' is called a run. They should be fine to to in the run right now, but make sure that they all end up back in the coop at night.

Hello, it's nice to have you here! Do you have an enclosed run for them or a fenced yard (I'm trying to figure out what your set up is like). If you have an enclosed run, they should be fine there. If you only have a fenced yard, I'd keep an eye on 2 month olds, as they aren't full grown yet...they could be tempting to aerial predators or slip through a fence.

Best wishes!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

At 2 months old, they should be ready to do some supervised or enclosed free ranging! Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!
