Moving chicks into their coup

[mccluskey85]

By week 5 my chicks are soooo noisy, smelly and need more space so they are off heat week 3 in the daytime ..week 4 all the time and out in the daytime ..week 5 out in a covered coop and run fulltime...never had a problem with this system..
( I’m in England )
It’s always tough seeing your little fluff balls outside but they’re hardy little things ..and if they were with their hen Mum they’d be out fulltime from day1!

Thank you! ☺

Spent the afternoon out with the chickies. Refitted crates,now the little bitties can sneak in and out of their crate, while the big ones can't get in. They mingled a lot, bitties got chased a time or two, a peck here and there, but overall it went really well. Joined up two crates so they have a bit more room on rainy days, or days I can't be out there for very long. Hopefully, in a month or less, they can join in for good.
