The chicks are doing great outside.
The little birds seem to be very happy to be able to be in the sunshine outside. I worried about them a little bit at first because the nights were still chilly. I hoped they would have enough sense to huddle together for warmth and they did. I would check on them every few hours to make sure they all had gone into their little houses. I guess I would have put more heat sources out there for them if they looked cold. They are starting to eat clover leaves. I pull some every day and throw it into the pen. They just looked at it at first, but then they got curious. After a few started pecking at it, they all got interested and had to check it out. The big chickens look at them through the chicken wire and I don't know what they think about it. I am sure they don't remember being chicks and doing the same thing. I think they just see the water dish and want to get a drink instead of going to their own dish which is about 4 feet away. Lazy birdies.
