The coop is almost done now, but the run is ready. Weather here gets really cold in winter so I was planning to brood them in the house, but take them outside for supervised play dates until they’re 6 weeks and their feathers come in.
Thanks for the advice everyone, I’m overthinking my role as surrogate chick parent haha.
We got a brooder plate, first time, but it sounded safer and easier.
Hello Again,
I searched but couldn't find an answer to this, but apologies if it has been covered.
We are planning to get day-old chicks and raise them in a brooder. These are our first chicks, so we don't have any adult hens around. Will we need to teach them chicken skills? Like how to...
