Back Indoors

Backyard Poultry

Settling Down

Soon, however, it was time to go back inside. These chicks were still a third the size of full-grown chickens, and three times more at risk of predators. There are, sadly enough, a number of predators that can capture a chick but are too small to grab a full-size chicken. Thus, I had to check frequently on these little chicks while they were out in their run to make sure they were safe. This translated into a fairly short stay outside, since I was not enjoying running back and forth from their house to mine. Getting them back indoors was a bit of a challenge, since they seemed to be a bit scared of going back in the door, but with some help I eventually got them all back in. Once inside, I did expand their living quarters even more. They seemed to demand more room to roam once they found out how much space is available outdoors. I think they enjoyed their little excursion.
