We moved our chicks into the playpen in the new coop. They have water, food, a heat lamp at night, and more room to move around. I find myself waking up at 2 a.m. and wondering if they are all right. I think I need to get therapy . . . . They will be coming out of the playpen next week and have the run of the coop. After they grow up a bit more, we'll blend them with the older hens, who are not particularly happy about the "interlopers" but will accept them after they all get used to seeing each other through the wire.
Theraphy Jane,..bringing up a big family will do that,..even those with feathers,..i love seeing how curious and active they get when introduced to a bigger area,..yes the BIG move will be when they are introduced to the elder members of the family,..learning new tricks from an old hen.
