I just had a new chick hatch. I am in northern utah. We are in the low 50's during the day, for now, and the 30's at night. Do I need to bring the mommy and baby in the house? And if so, for how long?
I have heard that the laying area should be kept clean. How do I keep my girls from just chilling in There and pooping all over? They are not laying eggs yet.
We just got chickens this Spring. We had 4 and lost one to a crazy hawk that swooped down and got our girl. Then my husband built an enclosed coop cage and we ended up getting 3 more. I love my girls! I have one named "Road Runner" that is near to impossible to catch and one big worm pig...
