My chicks are 10 days old. The weather is warming up, most days between 20C and 26C. On nice days the family gets transferred to a fully enclosed outdoor cage with wire floor and sugar cane mulch, shade, feeder and waterers.
Eventually they will be able to go from the henhouse into their safe chicken run by way of this ramp (not in situ in this photo because the henhouse pophole is closed off so they can't get out at this age). It is about 45 deg angle and covered in artificial turf for grip.
Any idea how old they will need to be to climb this? Or is it too steep? Thank you for your advice.
