Last time I cut a chick off heat early at 4 weeks, it died due to chilling.

You have to wean them off. By 4 weeks, especially in July your brooder temperature and outside temperatures should be similar by 3-4 weeks. Aren't you using a heat plate? They will probably wean themselves off it faster.

Hmmm? Something else wasn't right.

My grandpa forced me to take him outside earlier then I wanted. He said if it starts to crow, it goes outside.

Here he is a week before he was sent outside.

It was either, September, or October when this happened.

Yes, he was my sister's chick. The first Mille Fleur D'Uccle X Silver Duckwing OEGB. He had older friends that were ready to go out before him. They were 3 weeks old when he joined them once he hatched. They went out at 6 1/2 weeks all feathered out, no problems acclimating to temps.

Lisa my Son named the one puppy of Lucy's Pepper too. Of course the owners will change her name though. Hope Your honoured!

Do what you are comfortable with.

Which hatchery are you ordering from? Most hatcheries have chicks available, you must be ordering something unusual?

Yes...She has her dads phantom colour..

I thought the puppies would have a bit of a wavy hair when born. Nope! I wonder if any will be curly haired?
