My new Rhode Island Goldens are 7 weeks old now. I'm wondering how long I need to keep them with a light on. I shut it off during the day and open up the front of their liitle coop. They seem to love it. But at night I plug the light back in and close the front.
Second question. I have a 1 year old Barred Plymouth Rock hen. I close her in a 12'x12' aviary w/a coop at night. She free ranges during the day. When can I add the chicks to her area? And what should I watch for. Of course, they'll not be allowed to free range for at least 6 mths. Thanks for your help. Terri and Chicklet ( I haven't named the babies yet)
