Hey Y'all! I'm a new chicken mom with 7 chicks that are 2.5 weeks old. I need some guidance!
Last week, I started putting my girls outside in their small brooder where they can catch bugs and enjoy the fresh air. I'm in upstate SC so temperature regulation during the day has not been any issue, and I bring them in under their heat lamp at night. I've been given advice to build them an outdoor brooder for them till they're 6 weeks old, then a coop for them for the rest of their lives. Is there a way too build a coop/brooder hybrid to make my life easier? Any advice is welcome!
