Hi I've been bringing my chicks outside for they day since they reached 3.5 weeks old temps have been in the 60s and warmer since then.
The temp has dipped to 43 today (Wisconsin) with a high if 46. They are all outside and aren't huddle together. They seem okay but I don't want to hurt them.
I bring them inside my garage, and keep them in their brooder at night but with no heat plate. I've been doing this since 3.5 weeks, they were not interested in the heat.
Should they go inside or are they okay? The brooder is a bit crowded but I'd rather them be safe and a tiny bit crowded than get sick.
