Hello I am wondering when I can start putting my 1week old chicks in a coop and how to go about it I am super new to raising chickens and just got 6 1 week old chicks. Thank you I will be interested in any information!!
 
You can move them in the main hutch now and stick a heat lamp on them. Otherwise, they can be moved when they are fully feathered so 5-8 weeks. To teach them to free range: Keep them locked in the coop and run for about 3 days with food and water then let them out. They will know where home is.
