Well, it's finally felt like summer the last few days. The girls don't love the heat but we are trying to keep them comfy with the screen door at night. The yard only gets a couple hours of sun each day, keeping the area rather cool in comparison to the front yard. We've been giving them the run of the yard a couple hours each day. They love it. Every time I approach the coop they run for the door. Their food consumption has gone down considerably since they have been "free ranging". Bugs, worms, and grasses are the food of choice. They will start moving off of their chick starter and on to chick grower next week once they are a full 8 weeks old. They stay on grower until 20 weeks or the first egg, whichever comes first.
