Chicks are 6 weeks old now. Fully feathered. We are waiting to see if they are hens or roosters. We are hoping to know before needing to move them into the main coop for winter. They are still a little small for that anyway.
They are fully feathered though and have been roosting up high in the coop with Stir Fry for a week or so now.
They still do the frequent baby chick peep sound, but that is getting much louder.
Stir Fry still watches out for them but doesn't give them as much preferential treatment with food anymore. If we offer a treat and she wants it she gulps it down rather than feeling the need to teach the babies what it is.
We have let them free range in the yard because their fenced area is much smaller than the main coop.
I just learned about using google maps to measure areas. If I am using it right it looks like we have just about 1/3 an acre for the animals field.
