Hi,
I'm Danielle from the U.K I have kept chickens before, we had some Battery hens for a while but have a long break before being given the opportunity to have some chicks. I'm having one cockerel and one hen and hopefully getting 3 more hens to go with them but can only seem to find one week old chicks.
The chicks I will be getting (one male & one female) will be around 4 weeks old and I'm a bit confused about if they still need heat as I read some places that they can go outside and others that they need heat.
So what do you all think? Here in the uk it's still cold outdoors and although most frost has ended now, there is the odd chance of it.
Thanks all,
Danielle x
