Yeo, i think they didn't like it

Huddled and peeped a lot like they were still 1 week olds..but maybe cause their bantams..I don't know

But thanks

They also ignored me why I reminded them..you are chickens..do what chickens do..lol

They weren't cold, they were scared. Chickens don't like change. It will take them some time, then they will love it. When mine were old enough for the coop door to be opened to the run, it took them 3 days to venture out of the coop.

I was wondering when I could do this. Our lows are supposed to be 34 or above the next week and we are getting to the 60's (even 68 one day). My gut has been telling me my almost 7 week olds could loose the light, but I was not sure. They are in the shed.

Tomorrow we are going to take the baby gate outside and attach it to the big girls cage so they can be side by side and get to know each other. We will be watching the whole time and they will be separated.
