When can I let my chicks out of the brooder?

[KaylaLuvsYou]

Hey, just wondering when I can let my chicks out of the brooder. They are two weeks old and already flying on to the board separating them from the chicken coop itself and its a foot tall. Soooo just wondering when I should let them into the chicken coop.

There are other chickens? If it is only a foot high the other chickens, if there are any, would have attacked them by now wouldnt they?

I don't have any other chickens so I didn't think the brooder didn't need to be fenced in... I don't know, you probably know a lot more than me.

The rule is usually fully feathered before going to the coop but in warmer weather this can be shortened.

You just need to have a taller brooder and cover over the top.
