Hi have a 3 week old solo hatched mini Wyandotte, I have just moved her to a bigger cage with mix of straw and sawdust and a towel, up to now she has had a heat plate in a smaller box.
My question is, is it too soon to remove the heat plate during the day? She is in front of the wood stove, which is only alight during the day, so I was going to add the heat back in at night.
I am used to quail, this is my first chicken, she wasn’t supposed to be a solo! Quail grow much more quickly and would be mostly without heat night and day now.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
