Hi everyone,
I have 5 week old chicks (well five weeks in one day) and I am going to be out of town on the 28th through the third so not that long, and I need the chicks to be moved into the coop by the 28th I would be most comfortable for them to be moved in before the 28th so we can make sure everything goes all right while we are still in town. we have been letting the chicks explore the coop and run for about two hours each day and we have been doing this for about a week what are the next steps from here and if we were to move them into the coop at about 5 1/2 weeks old the weather is going to be pretty good rangeing from The lows being 50 to 55 and the highs being 75 to 88. any tips on moving the chicks into the coop and when we should start doing it if we want them moved in by the 28th thanks.
by the way just for reference we have one barred rock, one Easter Egger, and two golden comets.
