Quote: The chicks need to be protected until they are fully feathered. I put some chicks out this summer that were maybe about 2 to 3 weeks old. I put them in with my Silkie hen, and a heat lamp. They managed to survive without any problems. It was summer though. I doubt that I would try this in the dead of winter. If you want to see some home built coops, you are welcome to come out and see mine. I have a rather unique coop that has pull out drawers. I am at the south end of Maple Valley Hwy. I do believe that a coop that you build yourself will last longer, than most of the pre-made coops that are available. With a home built coop, a person can create enough room to take into account the need for chicken math. lol

Hi there neighbor! I'm in Covington, just southeast of Kent. Your chicks can go outside as soon as they're fully feathered (check under their wings for the last feathers), no need to wait so many months. Have you thought about getting a shed to use as a coop? You could use part of it for the chickens and the other part for storage. It doesn't take much to modify a shed for chickens; just add a roost and some ventilation! You're welcome to check out out setup if you like; we have a small shed and a fully roofed run. Welcome!

Of course it wasn't one of my laying hens. I really don't like meat birds, and I know that they are tasty.![]()

You are much nicer than me!! About the time he started asking questions hewould have been looking right down the barrel. With the statement would you like a demonstration or will you be leaving now!!! That would be followed by a call to law enforcement.
But out here where they have to pipe daylight to me things are different. A dead man tells no tales and coyotes are a poachers best friend. (so I am told !!!!)
I am still doing my research, just finished Raising Chickens For Dummiesand I want to make sure I am ready before I get them. I would love to get some this winter, if I am ready. I have read that they should stay inside (garage) until they are about 5 months. Is this correct?![]()

Well I do need to go see my DSiL in the Bremerton area, and I will able to manage this sometime next week. At least I think so. I will need to talk to DSiL and see when she will home, I can let you know when I get things figured out with my sis. I don't think it would to much farther to be able to pick them up from you then.
