My hatch-Chicken chicks & new silkie cross chick

[Farmer Kitty]

Fortress? Those panels are 10 ft long. It has to have a top, if I want to raise chickens. We have hawks and Eagles that fly right through. Not to mention the cats. Without the top, no chickens would be left.

I sent them back into their coop last night and opened it this morning. They haven't been out at all today. I will probably send them out when I head back outside. It may take them a little bit to get used to the inside/outside bit.

Oh, they went in real well. I set them right outside their door and when I moved back they went back in. There is a breeze so, I don't know if that is making it to chilly or just what but, they know they can get outside anyway.

Here is an updated pic of the chicks. They go outside on their own now.
