How Old Until Taking Chicks Out Of The Brooder

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I have read somewhere that when they start getting their feathers. I am almost done with the tractor and am trying to figure out when. The weather outside here is 40 at night and 60 to 75 during the day. Any help is greatly appreciated. cool

Actually you'll want to wait until they are fully feathered especially considering the chilly night time temps. I'd say from 6-8 weeks would be good.
