Hi and welcome to BYC.

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.

If this tractor coop I see in the background is the only one you have, you are in trouble --because that is only big enough for maybe 4 or 5 chickens.

58 birds inside your house is an awful lot! And 9 weeks is too old... chicks should go outside by 6 weeks, they're fully feathered by then and should not need any additional heat.

With that may chickens, you'll need a secure coop or shelter where they can be protected from drafts and predators and have at least 60 feet of linear roost space for them all to sleep and be safe at night. Not enough space can cause fighting and injuries, some may be forced to find another place to go, possibly the trees. Please read this article:
How Much Room Do Chickens Need

Their feathers will protect them from the cold, YOU need to protect them from wind and other weather elements, and also other animals that love to hunt and eat chickens.
What are you raising that many for? Are you starting an egg business, or maybe for meat? A little more information about what you are planning would allow us to understand and help you better.

58 chicks in a living room! Unless there's some unusual circumstances (i.e. you live in extreme climates) they absolutely do not need heat at 9 weeks and frankly should be getting acclimated to the temps so you can move them outside.

Thanks for reply.We still building a chicken pen until now still not done.

Hiya
Nice to meet you!


Congratulations on all your new feathered friends.
Once they are fully featured they can regulate their body heat so they should be just fine. As long as they have a draft free area to sleep in they’ll do great.
Seems like they are ready for their next big lesson...learning to go in the coop at night. How soon till it’s finished?
Having them sleep in the house I’m sure is great
Motivation to hurry on that build.
I’m excited for you.
Best wishes

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I would have to agree with @N F C . It looks warm enough where you are. I would get them out of the house ASAP.
The second picture you posted is an Easter egger cockerel on the left. In case you didn't know you've got at least one male on your hands.
Good luck with your flock!
