    What humidity level is ideal in winter? Below 80% below 50% etc?

    The screenshot stats are from it being empty, the chicks are inside my house in their brooder its my first batch. They'll be going outside the weekend of Thanksgiving. Also thank you! So it sounds like if internal humidity is more or less same as ambient then they'll probably be fine? Even if...

    Hi all! I live in northern New England so winters here are snowy and cold. My coop/run combo is wrapped in the winter with ventilation up top. I have a hydrogrometer and thermometer set up in the coop/run that I can check from my phone. Current October stats below so you can compare the...

    Thanks! And yeah not much inside it right now but I know when I was looking at reviews for the kit I wish I had been able to see what the inside would look like! I need to scavenge around the yard for a good stump and maybe a big branch or two as well for them to play on!

    What would you say is the meat quality from that age? Is it like soup only tough or still ok for general use? Also do you find this changes based on breed if they aren't really dual purpose breeds? Thanks!

    Yeah their feeder is always in there and kept full, you're probably right she may just be fluffier with a full crop. Curious to see if anyone chimes in on weight milestones though more out of curiosity of how quickly they gain weight as they age and feather out. Thanks!
