Okay, so this is my first time even being around chicks, so I will take all the advice anyone has to offer thanks ahead of time! My first question is, I have 6 three week old new Hampshire red hens and have seemed pretty happy so far inside in their box under the heat lamp, I try and spend as much time with them outside as I can, until I can let them move to the coop, but lately we have been "digging" moving all of the pine shavings around, especially in our water and food, (even after raising it) is this scratching? Are they just getting stir crazy and want to be outside? What can I do? Which leads me to my next question, when can I put them outside, I hear so many different times, I just wanna make sure their ready! I live in Florida so the weather has been nice for a few weeks, I just wanted to hear what others might think?
Thanks again-
