Rural Gardening: Chicks are finally outside, 1 by gallesfarm

First they were in Sterilite tote brooders, then we moved them to a big brooder on the porch, and last night we took them outside not too long before dusk and put them in with the other hens. No major problems - whew! One Speckled Sussex thought they all needed head pecks, but she wasn't chasing them down to do it. They spent the night in the coop with everyone else, and everyone was fine.

This morning though I had to boot them all out of the coop after everyone else was out, because they didn't want to go. Once they were out they found the food and water, and started wandering around, so I got my camera and took some photos.

This photo has Buff Orps, Buff Brahmas, Partridge Rocks, and a couple of the Americaunas.
