I have this one chick that hatched in my first try at hatching. OK he's 2 weeks old now, his feathers are coming in, on his wings and tail. He tries to fly and acts crazy. LOL For a brooder I have him in this big box my grandson's power wheels truck came in, so he has plenty of room but like this morning when I got got up he had dumped over both his waterers. Hes very active! He's under the carport now with a screen on top, heat lamp etc. I have hardware wire to make him a cage, pen whatever until he gets bigger. What I'm wondering is should I make the cage and put him in the backyard by the other chickens or put the cage in the pen with the others or what? Should I put him back in the brooder at nights or fix the pen up with the heat lamp and leave him in the backyard all night? Its gotten into the 40's at nights here then the next night only the 60's so we are having crazy weather. Thanks for any help.
