In the Brooder
My chickens seem enormous compared to when we got them 2 weeks ago. It seems to me like they have their feathers, but I am new at this and don't want to put them out too prematurely. The weather here in Massachusetts has been unseasonably cool. I want to put them in the coop so they can get used to living in there and then introduce them to the amazing run my husband is almost done with. I am really hesitant to put them out there with the red brooder light. Right now the light is not near anything and there is no chance it will touch anything. Should I put a lesser watt bulb in there for nights? The weekend is supposed to be really nice during the day 70s/-80s, so I plan on getting them in there tomorrow. Not sure if I can start leaving them out there at night. I think they much prefer the coop to the box in the garage. Suggestions?
