Hello,
New chick momma here. I have 4 Rhode island reds that are a week old. They are little fluffballs of happiness!
They are in a brooder filled with pine shavings inside my house with a Titan Incubator Heating Plate for warmth.
I am here for advice on -
1. At 2-3 weeks old, can i move their brooder box to the (insulated) coop outside with the heat plate, and they'll be ok? Here is the forecast for the next month in my area -
2. Can I let them explore in the grass yet? It'll be very warm tomorrow, in the 80s. Is it safe if they eat some grass? Should I put chick grit in the grass while they're outside in case they eat grass?
3. I need a better feeding system, because this feeder (see photo) is driving me nuts with how messy and hard to clean it is. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
