In the Brooder
At two weeks old they will still need some supplemental heat. Yours are close to the same age as mine. Two of mine have learned to fly to the top of my brooder also. I keep a wire mesh lid on my brooder to prevent escapes.
I ended up making a makeshift sort of lid for now and of course left the lamp, I also decided to leave them where they were (which is in my bedroom and probably one of the warmest rooms of the house).
Move elsewhere sure. No heat no. They will still need some sort of heat.
Yeah, I kind of almost jumped the gun with that. After I posted here I was reading a bit more and in the end decided to keep them where they are and with their lamp.
I just find everything so confusing right now because I know the other 5 that were hatched with them aren't getting the same treatment (the woman raising them has been doing this for a long time), and I keep getting told to do different things from people in my area.
