    Is 40F too cold?

    They are 7 weeks old and mostly feathered. Some are still missing some back feathers, but otherwise fully feathered. I have a place for them out of the weather(old dog crate). Is it safe to leave them out? If I must I could run a ceramic heat lamp out to them,but it is NOT rated for outside.

    Space question....plus design help

    Ok I am about to build a 8'x16' coop i guess is the word. They will sleep, lay, and have thier food and water in this. I will have close to 60 birds in here. They only use this to sleep and lay mostly as they free range through out the day. Is this big enough?

    What my kids call them.....baby pics added

    Ok so we just hatched our first batch of eggs.(It went fairly well BTW;)) I noticed that my kids would come in every day and ask if we had any new "SLIMEYS" We did a staggerd hatch so they did this for a week. I now call the new hatchers slimeys as well. I think we all should start this trend
