    How long to keep heat lamp?

    I just put my 8 week old chicks in their coop for the first time, I am also nervous how they will do with light/heat. I am in the 40's at night and the 50/60's during the day. I guess us nervous mom's will have to pray for each other:)

    What are good treats?

    You can feed raw or cooked, I have heard most people feed cooked in winter. My little peeps ( 8 weeks ) love grapes, tomatoes, worms. I dont feed them lots, mostly their crumbles.

    Can Chicks That Are A Month Old Go Out In Wet Grass?? Hurry!!!

    HI, I am also a newbee, my question is the same except in my area (N. CA ) it is mid 50's-high 60's but skies are gray. Is it too cold for my chicks who are 6 weeks, some are not feather out all the way yet. Do I need a light in the hen house??? Thanks

    Could someone please tell me the basic feeding regiment?

    I also am confused by conflicting feed instructions on treats. I have 4 BO and 4 GLW that are 1 week old, they are getting wing feathers on starting little tail feathers, treats w/grit available ok at this early age? thanks for your input

    Good treats for baby chicks?

    Thanks for all your input, giving treats to 1 week old ckicks was something that I was wondering as well. I am the proud mama of 4 BO and 4 GLW they are the sweetest. If anyone knows about when I should introduce small perches and of what type of wood that also would be very helpful. Thanks
