Drawing becomes an inevitable activity for our preschoolers at this age. Be it at home or in school, children aged 3 to 4 are constantly drawing. Of course, they have progressed through the scribbling stage where their drawings become more recognizable.
Which parts are missing from a dead bird can help you identify the culprit. A chicken found next to a fence or in a pen with its head missing was likely the victim of a raccoon that reached in, grabbed the bird, and pulled its head through the wire. When you find a bird dead inside a chicken pen and run (or a coop, for that matter) with its head and crop missing, your visitor was a raccoon. If the head and back of the neck are missing, suspect a weasel or mink.
Again not alot of experience. Mine are 3 weeks old and I built a 4x8 pen in the yard. On warm days I will take them outside for about 30 minutes and watch them. They seem to have a good time pecking the ground, scratching and acting like chickens.any experienced chicken keepers never have the chickens in the house at all. Chickens can definitely live outdoors in most any weather (maybe not northern Alaska) at 8 weeks, and again, experienced keepers often put them in a coop without added heat at half that age or even less.
