8 week old chicks and freezing temps

[pigeongirl1]

I have about 40 chicks ranging in age from 8-10 weeks old. I am in michigan and the nigh time temps are going to be as low as 20 this week. Can these chick move to our un heated barn?

Absolutely. All you need to do is condition them for a few days prior to get used to gradually lower temps by removing them from any heat you may currently have them under. Once acclimatized, they can handle any temperature as long as they aren't exposed directly to wind and weather.

Great thank you! They have been off the heat lamp for about 2 weeks now
