jellykelly Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Will it be ok to let my chicks out to free range with mum? They're two weeks old. Mum chook appears to be shedding tons of feathers - is this normal after hatching? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Yup and yup They should stay close to her - just keep an eye out. Moulting is quite common after hatching too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hilary took her chicks out after a couple of days, and we let the brooder chicks out after a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I let my brood out at a week old for a short time then the last 2 nights they've been out for over a hour they love it last night Faith took them above half way up the garden which was about 10 feet which for little legs is a long way there and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
