I've gotten a little (or a lot) behind blogging. I don't want to post all the pictures at once so I'll try to do a couple of days' worth at a time. I don't take pictures every day so it shouldn't take long to get caught up. So anyway, on the 22nd, when the chicks were about 4 weeks old, we got the run secured and opened the door. Not much happened that day:
Yep, they just looked out the door. Pretty scary for a chick that's lived its entire life in a box or a small coop.
The next day we tried again. At first it was the same:

And a couple of brave souls ventured out:
Only for a few minutes and they hightailed it back in-but it was a start!
The next set of pictures are from June 27th. I'll post those tomorrow or the next day.
