Every time I post a question I get great answers.
I have just put my chicks, 6 weeks old approximately, in the new coop. I have a roost rod in the run area. Its towards the top of the run. They ignore all day but at dusk they all were on it instead of going inside the hen house. Should I remove it. I have 2 roost poles in house. I want them to...

This thread came at the perfect time! I am in central Florida. Its gonna drop to 63 tonight. Thats cold for us..... Anyway, I have 6-7 week old chicks. I have them in the coop as of today. Do they need a heat lamp any more???
