Its my first time raising them, I raised them like I did the guineas and chickens. Did the brooder and then kept them in the coop, then the fenced in area till they were about 8 weeks old (guineas weren't allowed out till 12wks) then free ranged until the sunday before TG. I think your neighbors want to keep them safer than free ranging and maybe they would be more tender? This is them at 2 weeks old, I built a pen inside the coop to keep everyone together and a heat lamp to keep them warm. The silkies were almost 5 weeks old and ss & marans were 6wks old
