Today the Buckeye and Plymouth Barred Rock chicks graduated from the brooder inside the house to the coop outside.
Temperatures are inching towards forty during the day, but still dropping at night. To help in the adjustment, we did bring the heat lamp out for them. This will be their first test of cold tolerance, but I think all parties will agree that it was time for a relocation!
At first, they weren't too excited about the new digs, but their tone quickly changed. I brought dead branches for them to peck at and climb on and they started to explore the increased space rather quickly.
Have a glance at the nine feathered friends in their new home:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxIQFLFGym8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
How they have changed already!
