So, the chicks have been outside for 5 nights and are loving it! First few nights were super cold, but they were troopers and didn't use the brooder at all, so I have removed it. We did have a roost bar fall when they all went to one side of it the first night, but I have fixed the problem (and none of them were hurt, thankfully!!). They are getting field trips out to the runs for a few more days before I let them out full-time. The dogs aren't happy about them being out there, so I'm working on putting another barrier between them. Here are some photos Dalton took during their field trip yesterday. They are 7 weeks old now. Do you think they are all girls?
