Hi everyone,
I've ordered my chicks. I decided to go with 3 instead of 6 since we are just starting out. 1 of each (barred rock, golden comet and rhode island red) I am going to keep them inside the first week and then move them out to our garage for the remaining weeks. We've been having some chilly nights here in Ohio in the low 50's. Will a 100 watt bulb putt off enough heat to keep the little peeps warm? Also for their coop what is the best way to insulate that for them this coming winter? Would keeping them in the garage (not heated) for the winter months be better and then introduce them to the yard in the spring?
Thanks,
Gary
