    Night Temps for Baby Chicks

    My 17 chicks will be 6 weeks old Tuesday. They are probably about 80 to 90% feathered out. Our daytime temps for the next 2 weeks are forecasted to be in the 50's and 60's. Night temps just for this week alone is anywhere from 30 to 48. I'd like to move them out on the glass enclosed sun...
