majuka Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I have never had chicks so I don't know when they would start. It just made me wonder, on such a nice day if he was simply enjoying the sun? Hopefully someone more knowlegable will be able to help you more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmastar Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 HI all ben is well and doing fine im not to sure what it was . maby it was a littleto hot for them , none have shownany other ill signes and he is back to normal now , some are 18 days and some are 15 days now so i think its a lttle to earley to put them out but they are getting the run of the kitchen once a day ( they are loving it ) The EH is set on the higest point as my house is quite walm anyway and having 6 they tend to keep themselves walm together not under the eh , Thanks for all the info im still keeping a close eye on them .
