What are you guys' thoughts on the chicks being in the garage? It is on the shaded side of the house, so to me it has a chill to it. At night its been in the 50s, and its returning to the 65-75 range during the day. I do have a heat lamp on them, and they are now 2 weeks old. Since I'm not doing the house chicken routine this time around, I'm not so keen on dusting as much!

Do you think they can go to the garage now, or should i wait a bit longer? Here is their setup:

I would wait until they are 3 weeks, then they should be fine in the garage. Just check on them frequently the first night or two to make sure they are keeping warm.

Photo of Eko with my daughter today. He actually seems to like it. He will often snooze like this for awhile.
But… he will also attack her feet if she is wearing flip flops. He hates them for some reason.

A few photos of the “girl gang of 8” out on the grass the little while we had some sun today.

That one is Noa, she’s 3/4 Silkie and 1/4 Polish. I’m calling her a second gen or F2 Polkie!
She will be part of my satin breeding program.
