Well my flock is finally outside. They will be 6 weeks old tomorrow and the days are getting warmer and longer here in northeast Ohio. It will be 60-70 during the day 30-50 at night for the next week. I will be locking them in the roost during the night with plenty of shavings but I wondered if I should put the lamp in there. I was thinking with 7 of them they will huddle together to keep warm.They have outgrown the 103 gallon stock tank and I have not had the lamp on for a while now. I think they really like it outside fresh air, sunshine, more room and its funny to see them chasing bugs. Also I did end up having 2 roosters in the bunch. The one on the roost in the picture is showing some aggression to the rest. I have named him Barry after my EX because he is such a prick. I do not have the heart to "take care of him" but I can not keep him. What do I do with him? I would like to keep the other one "Clark" and see if he is not as mean.
