I loaded them direct.

Good to know R2Elk. I am really not sure how to tell if they are fully feathered however.

I uploaded a total of 4 pics on my last post but only one showed up on post. How come?

Moved my 4 week old chick to their coop 3 days ago. They have spent two successful nights in their coop with the heat lamp. I really think they are loving it

No, no, I meant the flowers come to life and attack the bees, shoo-ing them away. Lol. Really need to read my post before hitting reply. Oh well, I got a good chuckle out of my post. Hope you did too!

I went ahead and planted a large Marigold garden at the end of my vegetable garden. Even if my birds do not like them they are a beautiful flower that does attack bees for pollination.

I am sorry, really need to watch my spelling. Marigolds.

R2Elk, I hear chicken love to eat marigolds I was going to plant some today just to pick and give them later when the are outside. Could you give me your opinion? Do chicken like eating marigolds? Is this a good idea?

Mine were on average 5 ozs. Yesterday.

My chickens are now 2 weeks and 1 day old. I weighed them in on the postal scale yesterday and they have literally doubled in size from last week's weigh in. Going to give them a larger brood today. When I switch their brood it will be their third brood thus far. Chicken farming is so much fun!

The flowers are pretty, but that Turkey is beautiful!

Red horse ranch, thank you, your post was very helpful indeed. My chicks are not quite two weeks old but was really worried how I might be able to keep them inside an entire 8 weeks. I hope to be able to do as you suggested around 4-5 weeks.

Yea, I am a small time chicken farmer compared to you. My brood is in the house, in the middle of my dinning room table. My run is not heated either, but I do plan on putting either a light or a pad in our small coop. Was nice chatting about this subject with you. May you chicks stay warm, and...

Yes, someone told me that they won't have all their feathers till they are 8 weeks old. But it is nice to know I can take them outside on nice days. It is a bit windy in Wheatland today, and they are just over a week old, but as they get older, and the weather gets nicer I will have to do that

Hello, and thanks for the welcome. My chicks are 2 days over a week old, and I already need to move to a higher walled brood. Not sure if they continue to grow like this I will be able to wait the whole 8 weeks to put them in their run. My question for you today is... Do I really have to wait...

Hello I am Rhonda from Wheatland, still trying to figure it out
