That's great! Are you brooding them in the coop? There is no reason not to raise them out there as long as the setup is predator proof. They'll do MUCH better than being raised inside.

I started them in the coop lost three to suffocating and a snake.
I’m in the process of fixing those issues.

Since I’ve had them FF they are like “crackheads”.
I give them both dry an FF and they eat both.
I’ll assume this is ok.
They stand and wait in the morning for me to sit down the pie plate of FF.

That so great! So cute
How old would yall suggest to start doing this supervised with fully enclosed run with chicken wire? I know they'll be too small for a while.

As long as they're warm, dry and protected, I'm sure any age is fine.

As long as the chicken wire isn't really chicken wire but hardware cloth instead the chicks can hatch out in the coop and be better off than when brooded indoors.

My girls are back in there coop and run. They were in chick heaven today. First dust baths forging around trying to fly.
