My son wants to....

[Jolyn]

My 4.5 year old would like to take a few of the chicks to his preschool. Would it be ok to seperate the chicks for about an hour and a half to take a couple there? They are over two weeks old now. Would this disrupt them too much?

I was planning on putting them in a little ventilated box with some food and water.

Thanks for any info,
Jodie

i took a few birds, chicks, and ducklings to my little cousins school once. They were fine. I would say it would be ok to do that. Just take enough chicks to keep so thay can keep eachother warm.

I'm sure they will be fine and the kids will love them!!!

I have been taking my Buff Orpingtons to my childrens Elementary school one day a week for two weeks now and they love it

The kids make drawings of how they change and ask all kinds of questions.

I took 4 of our 1 1/2 week old chicks to my sons' preschool last Thurs. The kids had a blast. It was very warm that day and the chicks seemed fine if a little tired when I got them back in their brooder. It's hard work being oohed & aaah'd over

The kids loved the chicks. I took in four and they did great!!!
