when to let the chicks out
« on: July 29, 2009, 10:57 »
hi , i have 5 hybrid chicks they are all 5 andhalf weeks old, i have finished their outside covered run, and i was wondering when i let them out, do i have to wait for a warm day, or can i just open thepop hole and see what they want to do. i just dont want them to get a chill. any advice would be good.

I would let them out as long as it isn't raining (fat chance!) and make sure they go in again at night.  They might not even come out much at first, just open the pop hole and let them decide, they will gradually get used to it tho.
