We have 3- 8 week old chicks in our coop. I have a perch inside and outside, it seems they are always on the one outside. When it comes to going to bed at night they dont seem to be going onto the perch inside. I catch them laying together in one of the nesting boxes.
I was just wondering what...
So when the girls are 6 weeks old and i move then into the coop should i keep them inside just the coop for a week? Then when they have full run of the coop, do you kèep the food in or out?
Thank you Jack, Looking at my coop i will put windows in the gable ends and put chicken wire as screen. Then if its not going to be a problem i will just leave all of them open year round. I will get them installed tomorrow so I will post pictures.
Thank you for the great info, Im just trying to complete the coop. So in the winter months i will need 2 lights one for heat and one for light? I bought an outdoor flood light for insde the coop, so i i should buy another?
