We live in El Dorado County where once upon a time we had winter? this year however it seems to have passed us by but still gets down into the thirties and we have a few flurries now and then. they are in a very heavily built chicken condo. Hahaha with the red heat lamp twenty-four hours a day...
I have young chicks and 1 is a young rooster 11 to 18 days old. I want to make sure their warm but I also think 24-7 light is unhealthy. Should I get a heater in their coop for night time and keep the red light for day time?
