My chicks will be 2 weeks on Monday. It's been in the high 70s, sunny and breezy here. I have a small outdoor hutch set up next to the main run for see/don't touch. Im wondering when it's safe to let the babies outside during the day. What is too cold for them out there? I don't have electric out there so they won't have the brooder plate. Just the sun shine. I plan to bring them back to the garage brooder in the late afternoons.
Also- once they go outside should I be providing chick grit both outside and inside? Im assuming they'll be eating grass and bugs while out there. The ground is sand so im not sure how much grit they can get out of there. I leave a bowl of grit in the run for my big girls for that reason.
