I am so glad to have read your article! I was gifted 3 chicks for Earth Day. They are almost 4 weeks old. I also have only kept the babies inside at night in fear of it being too cold. They still have some baby feathers in their heads and necks. I forgot them in their coop last night and scurried out at 830 and they were sleeping and felt warm to my touch. I dont have any source of heat out there; the coop has an insulated roof. As of right now they are on a 12hr feeding 730-730 and then i bring them inside. They seem much happier outside than in my home with the craziness.
thank you for sharing this experience
