Chickies first day outside
Our take
Today marks a cluck-tastic milestone for our feathered friends as they venture outside for the very first time! With temperatures hovering between 63-69 degrees, the mostly feathered chicks are ready to explore, although one little guy is still a bit behind in the feather department. Don’t worry—he’s holding his own! To keep this exciting escapade safe, I’ve set them up in a dog kennel within the big chickens' run. Sure, it’s a snug fit, but it’s the perfect way to introduce them to the great outdoors while ensuring they stay protected. Watching them peck and scratch at the ground is pure joy, and I can't wait to see how they react to the fresh air and sunshine!

| It’s between 63-69 today and the chicks are mostly feathered (except one.. he’s got less feathers than the rest but I think he’s ok) I’ve put them in the dog kennel in the big chickens run. Not a lot of room for them in there but I really want to make sure they get to spend time outside, and this is the safest way for me to do so. [link] [comments] |
