    Can my chicks live outside?

    If a hen were hatching them I'd say yes, but I would not be comfortable without "adult supervision. it's getting cold and they need to start out at about 95 degrees without drafts. I vote NO RobertH

    just thinking a standard bronze hen or two may be much easier to come by, then you can be sure which ones are hens as soon as they hatch. that is how we got our auburn hens. we only got one auburn from Porters and it turned out to be a tom, but we got 4 bronze hens. Now we have 2 auburn hens...
