    When to put chicks outside

    If you have feathers, multiple birds and a heat lamp, your ready to move em out. An alterative to the heat lamp is a heat blanket or even the " chick cave ". I've had chicks out in sub freezing conditions this winter. Monitor food consumption as an indication of well being. Good luck.

    Cold nighttime temps and pullets

    Agreed...I have been testing chick hardiness over the winter and have found that 3 week old chicks can thrive in sub freezing conditions in numbers. With fresh water, food and each others body heat, all is well. These were NH Reds, BA's and BR's. A good indication of well being is food...

    Last and final boxes!

    Txs gang. I did the bucket thing for a while. I got many eggs on the floor of the coop at first. The seemed a bit cramped to me but I did enjoy the look of the buckets.

    Last and final boxes!

    I have tried so many different types of nesting boxes. Almost addicted to the trial and error process. I believe I am finally content with these homemade metal boxes. Inside is 14 x 14. Inside height is almost 18". Sharply sloped roof with heavy overhang to keep them in the shadows. It was...

    We got this Golden a few days ago. I've never had a chick with a personality like this one. She follows us around and jumps on our feet. Wants to be held continually. Our other chickens avoid us unless we have treats.

    Integration Day

    Nice! Great to hear this. Cool your still getting a solid egg count. You would think stress would drop as time goes on so you should be set. We've reverted backwards a bit here. Opened the doors this morning and found all newbies piled in a nesting box so I suspect some early morning...
