    Heat lamp questions

    Good morning, our chicks are now 4 weeks and love to be outside. We live in sunny Southern California. Can they safely move to the coop, and should we be turning off heat lamp at night now too? We have it off for most of day. Suggestions would be great! Here are a couple of pictures.

    Hi, my chicks are 2 and a half weeks now and they run to me (us) when we enter the room. They love it when we visit outside and love to eat from our hands. They do not like to be held. Once I scoop them up and rub their chest they calm and chill for a split second and then off they go. This...
