Well, after a little thought yesterday I decided it was time to take my 15 chicks out of the brooder and give them full range of the coop. They're 2-2.5 weeks now. My brooder was in the coop to begin with to concentrate the heat etc...So today was the day and they loved the extra space. They really seem to enjoy the romp and even seemed to eat more. Not that they weren't eating . I couldn't get anyone to take the first step out the pop door today but they were sure thinking about it. The heat lamp obviously will stay in the coop until they are a little older.

Enjoy the pictures!

My current chicks are 4 weeks old. I wish I could give them free range of the coop, but my older birds go after them.
