I just picked uo a couple of 4 1/2 month old chickens to add to my flock, but when I went to the sellers coop I saw they had a heat lamp on them. I don't use a heat lamp in my coop, to prevent dependency so my question isn't about using a heat lamp for not using a heat lamp exactly...but how do I transition these birds who are used to heat into a coop that doesn't have heat?
It is 15 degrees out and we're supposed to get hit with even lower temperatures this weekend. I just don't want to shock them with the cold... what is the best way to help them transition?
