Hello all,
I am getting a late season shipment of chicks coming December 14 and am a bit wary as to where I should put them.
My coop is fully insulated like a house, and under neath the roosts and the poop boards I have a wired in “chicken hospital” that was intended for raising chicks or keeping sick chickens. With it being Dec do you think it will be too cold for them out in coop? Coop is insulated but not heated. Of course they will have a brooder plate with them.
For reference I’m in southwest Virginia. Right now we’ve been getting lows in the 20/30 range, which is also typical for December here.
