    HELP! Can I put my chicks outside before 6 week?

    I have 3 week old chicks and I would like to put them outside in my coop/run without heat source at 5 weeks. Is this safe/okay? I understand 6 weeks is fully feathered and the customary time to put them outside. I live in Massachusetts and weather can be all over the place in September and...

    Is it normal to let chickens out in yard?

    our yard doesn’t have a fence and we have lots of raccoons. Is it normal to let our chickens out during the day right now they just stay in their coop and run, mostly in their run. I’m a little bit worried for our chickens because they could run away or something else could get in. Should we let...

    Going outside?

    Here is a picture of our chicks. They seem to have full feathers or at least a good amount of them. My question is when are they ready to go out? They are roosting and flying out of their brooder. But the lows are like 23 at night here this next week and I don’t want them getting too cold too...

    Outside or too young?

    Hello, so these are our cute little Olive Eggers. They have been testing out their wings the last couple of days, and have also really started scratching and foraging the bottom of the pin. I was wondering if they are too young to go one supervised visits outside. I am guessing they are about 2...

    Can my crazy chicks go outside? :)

    First time chicken owner here 😅 I have 4 chicks that I picked up on 3/21. I’d guess they are almost 5 weeks old? (Assuming they were 2 days or younger when I got them, they will be 5 weeks on this Friday) They all feathered out very fast and I can’t find any obvious fluff left on them. They...

    Is this baby enclosure safe??

    Hi chicken tenders, it's going to be a warm sunny 80 degree day here today and my chickies are 2.5 weeks old. I'm eager for their first excursion outside but I'm not confident that bringing them out with no enclosure is safe, and I'm also not sure if this large baby gate is safe for them. I have...

    Treats for meatbirds

    Is it advised against to give meat birds treats? Specifically oatmeal? It’s a cold day today, and I just moved my 4 week olds to the tractor yesterday. I can tell they’re a bit chilly, I was thinking maybe I’d give them warm bowl of oatmeal to warm them up.

    Raising meat birds outside

    At what point can I move my chicks from their brooder to their chicken tractor? They’re a week old right now. Out temperatures are 30s-50s at night and 70-80s in the day. They’re out growing their brooder faster than I had expected.
