And when the chicks are old enough to go outside, we will move all of our chicks to the 4-H farm and our project members will rotate taking care of all of the chickens until they are ready to move to their new homes (this will be about 1-2 weekly visits to the farm for 6 weeks, and don't worry, there will be much social distancing).
