Hi, we have just started with a new batch of chicks in a home-built brooder and it seems that the chicks are already trying to fly out every once in a while when I open the lid. These are only one week old and I was wondering if it is normal for them to be able to flutter up in the air that early. They are also already sitting up on sticks of firewood I put in there to sleep on. I guess they are just growing up way too fast!! Oh, btw, the walls of the brooder are 18" high.
