So my chicks are 3 days shy of 4 weeks old. Feathering out, and it sounds like they are fighting sometimes. Lots of wing flapping and squeaking. I go over to the box and they all look at me like “what? You got something for me? We weren’t doing anything” lol
My house is 65-70 degrees during the day. Should I take their heat plate out? To give them more room? You think they still need it? For the past 2 nights they will line up along the edge of the box between the wall of the box and the heat plate, but not under it. I have 5 chicks in a box/brooder that’s 2ft by 4ft. I don’t think it’s warm enough to take them outside yet, I live in planting zone 7b. Maybe in another 2 weeks.
