New Chicks Join The Flock

The new chicks will be laying soon. It's time to get them integrated into the flock. Let's see how they're accepted by the older chickens and how fast they get used to the coop.

Chickens. Must. Walk. On the grass. For their health. Peck grass with its beak and look for worms. The protective mesh is superbly made!

I would love to have them free range, but there life would be short. We have hawks and eagles that hover and random area dogs and coyote that pass through. I do give them scratch, dried larva scatter and garden veggies to peck at. At some point I would like to expand the run to the grassy area behind them a bit and have a gate so I could let them in there sometimes but also keep the grass alive. Yes the mesh on the top helps to keep those prey birds out! All a learning experience for sure!

They don’t need to walk on grass and now a days chicken feed has everything a chicken needs so there perfectly fine and there protected so they don’t gotta worry about stuff but chickens don’t need to be on grass or eat grass and I mean if she wants to feed them grass all she gotta do is go pick some grass from the yard
