I wasn't sure when the chicks should have their first trip outdoors, but I figured since the temperature outside is only slightly cooler than their brooder it would probably be OK. Isn't this the advantage of having baby chicks in August?
So at the tender age of one-week old (plus a few days) outdoors we went. The girls LOVED it! They immedietly began tasting everything in sight, pecking at dirt, finding and chasing bugs and a few just layed down to bask in the warm sun. How cute!
It continues to amaze me how much of what these little chicks know is instinct. How fun it is to see them grow and learn!
