Today we'll be letting the Chickens into the barn and access to the outdoors. We started by hanging up an additional feeder, covering up the dust bath, and opening up this hatch!
Once we opened up their ramp to freedom you can see they were a little nervous. As they are just six weeks old today this was to be expected. Still their curiosity got the best of them and slowly but surely they made their way onto the ramp.
Once Candy let herself into the barn they started to feel more comfortable and began exploring the straw and the bounty hidden within.
Candy keeps a motherly watch over her girls!
Sometimes a helping hand is all that's needed to see the light!
It wasn't long before they began scratching looking for bugs and other goodies.
It wasn't until the following day that they actually ventured outside. It won't be long before we'll be trying to get them back in after dark!
