Runt Chick?

Awesome! Yes 100% I would be comfortable with them out at 5.5 weeks especially this time of year. (though I realize I was thinking about you being at someone else location) You have plenty of other birds so I don't think she will need heat. She will likely just make friends to snuggle with. I usually have cut the light in the brooder before moving them out completely so it's a little less of an adjustment. But that many birds will put off quite a bit of heat so it shouldn't be a problem.

That's really sweet, my name in Alyssa.

You've got such a cool variety there!

Hopefully they get along and I have one nice rooster to protect my girls

Nugget didn't make it. Just had to bury the poor girl. Thanks for all of your advice

Sorry for your loss. These things do happen.

I'm hoping to have my coop finished today, but unfortunately I'm still working so I don't know how successful I'll be

Love hearing success stories. I love this little "girl" she has literally stopped growing though. She's getting her feathers. Here's a picture of her with her siblings of the same age. There are a few different breeds,but the rest aren't nearly as small as her[/QUOTE]


It wasn't a huge success for us. I am glad he made it, but we couldn't keep roosters so we had to give him away.
