    Can my baby stay outside?

    my oldest is 12 weeks at the moment, youngest are less than 10 weeks, and they have never shown any signs of being cold. if he has bedding I would imagine he'll be fine. give him a heat lamp and see what he does as far as being under it. they have enough sense to get warm if they need to...

    Can my baby stay outside?

    Mine refuse to sit under the lamp, they seem to prefer not having it. make your enclosure that he'll be in at night large enough to put the heat lamp at one end, and watch to see if he stays under it or away from it. then go from there

    Can my baby stay outside?

    should be fine, especially if he's used to it.

    Can my baby stay outside?

    change it as often as you think it needs to be changed, though he'll likely move away from his bedding, especially if he has a pool or pond, youll be amazed at how often they'll sleep on the water.

    Can my baby stay outside?

    we have 7 ducks (4 buffs, 3 cayugas) and all are good outside, were actually swimming in their pond during the 23 degree temps we had here in north texas 2 weeks ago. cold weather doesn't seem to bother ducks, ours prefer the cold to the shelter and heat lamp they have.

    my chickens have flat combs

    They are 13 weeks old. They have less of a comb than the wyandottes do with the rose comb. where the comb should be is either flat or a small raised lobe of flesh but its completely smooth. Don't have any pics right now, but will get some tomorrow.

    my chickens have flat combs

    I have 3 chickens, either black jersey giants or black australorps (feed store wasn't sure on their breed), and they have flat combs that are black. The hatchery they get their birds from (Ideal) don't have any birds that I can tell that match the birds I have that also have flat combs. I'm at...
