I can't wait til mine are big enough to get in the nest boxes!!
We got the girls moved into their "permanent digs" We left the cage in for a few days, and just took it out yesterday. We left one of the "used" priority boxes in there they seem to like to peck at the colors, and hubby closed off their door with another priorty box (used of course) to make that corner seem more familiar. We had the cage lined with them so they couldn't get out through the bars when they were little.

They seem to be adjusting just fine. Of course, hubby took a radio out for them.... he said they were used to "hearing noise" constantly in the house, so he thought the radio would give them background noise and be a comfort to them. Besides, it helps to block out the "strange" sounds in the barn. :-)
