Brooding Outside?

The general rule is a constant 95 degrees for the first week, and drop the temperature 5 degrees each week until they are fully feathered.

Week 2 - 90 degrees
Week 3 - 85 degrees
Week 4 - 80 degrees
Week 5 - 75 degrees
Week 6 - 70 degrees.

This means the NIGHT TIME temps, too. So if the outside temperature is 90 during the day but 75 at night, they need the heat at night. This is *around the clock* temperatures until they are fully feathered.

That helps SO much. Thank you
