We got our second batch of chicks a couple of weeks ago. They're growing quickly, and I'm thinking about next steps. It seems kind of silly to me to have them here in the air conditioning, then keep a heat lamp on them to keep them warm--especially since I live in South Texas and most days outside are upper 90s and low 100s.
I have a small outside coop I can use as a grow-out house. With the first batch I put them in at about 4 weeks, but I'm thinking of moving that schedule up considerably.
Any good reason not to put the silly little things outside sooner rather than later?
