At about five-weeks old, our little Buff Orpingtons are fully feathered and look like miniature chickens rather than chicks.
Plus, they were starting to perch on the rim of their box.
It's roomier than their box. For the first couple of days, all the openings were screened off so they could look out and get used to their new surroundings.
Then I removed the screen from the door to let them see what outside is like.
The ramp gives them access to the enclosed area under the coop. Soon we'll open the front and let them roam in their new chicken yard. I just want to make sure they know to go back to the coop at night.
