brooding

[1sttimer]

how long are pullets and chicks supossed to stay in the brooder box. my brooder box is inside beside my bed. but when they are ready i will move them outside but i need to know when they should be ready. i live in missouri so the weather can change rapidly so... yeah thanks

I do not move them outside until they are fully feathered out. If you have a way to run a light out to them, you could do it sooner.

Editing to add, that may be 6 weeks or 8 weeks or less. It just varies per bird, how you raise them, etc.
