hi, i have had my 3 week old chicks in a brooder in my house, but they are growing really big and already the 1m by 1m enclosure seems to small for the 5 of them. they have a enclosure build in part of a shed which is draft free, 6 foot by 3 foot.Can i move them into their with their electric hen or should i keep them in the house.

Hi,
As long as they have the electric hen, I can see no problem, the more space they have the quicker they grow.

thanks for your help, i have moved them outside into their hen house and they love it, keep sitting on the top of the bale of straw, it is really funny to watch them play and scratch around in the straw.

You might find you have to put them in the shelter tonight.
It's great when they go outside  :)
