Just came inside and checked the weather; yep, 100% humidity. That fits.
My parents live on a farm so I've been taking my chicks over there to raise during the summer. Sadly, the raccoons were killing them.
Last night I rescued the remaining chicks and brought them home. Quite an adjustment for them to come to a big, busy flock. I kept an eye on them today and nobody was harassing them. A couple hens wanted to foster them, but they're too independent although I noticed they tend to stay in two groups. The one thing they couldn't figure out was where to go tonight, so I spent half an hour in the dusk coaxing them into the coop. Such a feeling of relief when the last one hopped inside!

It's fortunate you have the option of relocating your chicks out of harm's way. I'm sure by now they're well adjusted to their new (predator-free) environment. Good move.
