Outside today

[Chrisco kid]

Chicks first trip outside was really good. I could tell so much more about them, their colors and personality. I would love to keep them out longer but storms are coming, so play time in the garage

That first time out is always really neat to watch,you start to see the chickens they'll grow to be.

We took the oldest one out yesterday with a pen and it was a blast! So thankful for y'alls advise. Thank you. My 5 year old daughter really enjoyed watching her too. Can't wait to get the rest of them out there in a few weeks.

How old were they when you let them out for the first time? How long did you let them roam? I've got 1 - 3 weeker and 16 - 2day olds.

About 3 weeks old. For 30 minutes or so. But i kept them in a fenced area. Just easier to from losing any.

Here and there I'd bring one or two outside for a couple minutes. I have two age groups mixed together so they officially went outside when they were 5 and 7 weeks old.

Cool you're getting your little girl involved, at that age everything is pure joy!
