Hi everyone,
I am new to raising chickens and have had my 3 rhode island red girls in the brooder for just over 3 weeks. I've just got their coop and set it up in the garage which is currently at a temp of around 18c/65f. I have set them up with a heat lamp hanging from the ceiling and hot water bottle and they seem really happy in their new coop.
I'm just worried they will be too cold as they haven't got all their feathers yet. If I keep the heat lamp on them in the garage (it has no door so wind will come in). In your opinion will they be ok? Or shall I return them to the brooder?
Thanks for your help!
