Hi,
I live in Concord MA and have 6 chicks who were born March 20. They are getting BIG! When should I move them out to the coop? I've read 6-8 weeks but I'm concerned about night temperatures. Should I be? I haven't installed electricity in the coop yet, I was going to wait until the fall but should I run a light in there at night? I've been using a regular 100 watt bulb in the brooder (located in the basement) and they've been fine. As they've gotten older, I've provided more ventilation. If I put them out this weekend, will they be OK?
Thanks!
