The baby chicks have quickly grown. They are now fully feathered. We spent the day moving and cleaning the chicken coop. Once a year, you should take everything out of the coop, clean it and sterilize it. Titania and Alania are now back in the coop and roosting for the night. When they wake up in the morning, there will be new friends for them.
It is time to transition the baby chicks to the yard and outside coop. We are going to go over and get the first batch that will be our new layers. Chuck is working on a temporary coop for the ones that will later become chicken dinner. From all of my research, it sounds like one of the best ways to introduce new chickens is to put them on the roost while the other ones are sleeping. We will see if this theory works. We are doing this tonight so we can keep an eye on them tomorrow since we will all be home for most of the day. Will keep you posted.
