How are you?

You talking to me? I'm pooped, just walked the dog for 45 minutes and it's getting hot out there! It's going to be a great day!

 

[BullChick]

Well, until the 2 babies are big enough to not fit thru a 2"x 4" fence, the run door stays shut. Jaebels got out of the run yesterday. And trhough the fence for the people area. Mama Niko was NOT happy! So now I have kicked all the grownups out of the run and just closed the door again. They aren't happy either, since they use that as access to the nestbox. I guess a grow out pen is an option, but I don't really plan on doing many more babies. (yeah, and I'm sure there's a bridge for sale, also). Any idea how much longer before they don't fit through that size hole? Only other option is to keep them all in the run.

Yes, yes there is a bridge for sale!

The chicks could take a while to get big enough to stay in the fencing. Depends on the breed, and the feed.

I don't know who the moms are, dad is one of the Marans.

I can document that 4wk old LFs can fit through 2x4 welded wire....I am going to make a play pen out of hardware cloth with access to the coop and kick mine out of the brooder in a day or two....
