Hello,
I've been brooding chicks inside and am ready to have a dust and ruckus-free home again. I had read that once chicks are fully feathered out, they're fine to go outside but then after I got them, a local farmer said I would have to keep them inside all winter! Then I learned here about the Heating Pad Mama Cave. It's currently in the 30's during the day and teens at night - is it safe to put them in the coop if I put one of these in there? Current house temp is upper 60s.
