the day hutch! when chicks are old enough (over a week) i put them in this little hutch for a few hours on warm days so they can get used to outside.

i also put two hens in there with them, to teach them how to scratch around and be bird. the hens also keep each other company, i’ve found just using one hen by herself tends to stress her out, so a friend really helps to keep everyone calm.

and when the day starts cooling, or the weather turns, the chicks go back inside to their brooder. safe and warm
