Hello I am a newbie to the BYC and part of my "flock" are 6 ducklings and 2 goslings that I house together... They are all 2 weeks old and are getting a lil big for the make shift brooder and the smell is starting to get to me... I am wanting to house them in the barn with in a bigger brooder but I am concerned it will be too hot for them, I am in the southern part of OK and we have been hitting some high temps as of late.. The barn is running at a temp of 90+ and cools down to about 80 at night... I am wondering if this is wise to move them there?... Currently they and the 5 baby turkeys (seperate brooder) are in my house..
Where do you guys brooder? If the temps are already pretty warm... Is it safe to build a brooder hutch and house them outside as long as the hutch is Safed out for all things... Weather and pests and enemies?
