Got my chickens March 2 when can I put them outside
Our take
Got your chickens on March 2? How egg-citing! The big question is when you can let your feathered friends roam free outside. Generally, young chicks should stay indoors for about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the weather and their size. Once they are fully feathered and the temperatures are consistently warm—ideally above 50°F (10°C)—it’s time for them to experience the great outdoors. Just remember to introduce them to their new space gradually to avoid overwhelming their little hearts. With a sprinkle of patience and a dash of care, you’ll have your flock clucking happily in no time! Check out the comments for more tips and shared experiences from fellow chicken enthusiasts. Happy chickening!

- Chickies first day outsideIt’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. submitted by /u/Much_Tap4920 [link] [comments]
