Thank you! I brought them in for the night. I’m going to leave them out in the coop in the mornings so they will slowly get used to the temperature.

Thank you for the reply! Inside temperatures were high 60s and that is what they are used to. They had a heat plate that I raised to the top however they didn’t use it much anymore (they huddle together to sleep). They are fully feathered, or very close to it. No naked spots that I can see...

Hi everyone! My chickens have been inside the house since birth, and they are now a few days past 7 weeks of age. I wanted to take them outside in the coop as the brooder is too small for them and I can imagine it’s not comfortable not being able to fully run around. I don’t live in that much...

Hi Everyone! I was hoping if anyone may have some advice. I got nine little chicks four days ago. I watched videos and read up on care that these little ones would need. Sadly, two of them passed away. One a day or so after I had them, and another today. Both were a bit smaller than the rest...
