Hello all!
This is our first year raising chicks. Our girls are now 6-7 weeks old and I am just finishing up their coop. Should be done tomorrow.
I removed the heat lamp a few days ago and they have been fine without it. Today is a beautiful day outside (about 70) so I moved their brooder to the front porch. They are loving it outside !
We live in upstate NY and our weather is still a bit touchy this time of year. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day but mid week it's supposed to dip back down to the mid 50s to low 60s durring the day and nights will be high 20s to mid 30s.
Do you think that they will be ok at these temps? With or without he heat lamp?
Thanks !
Jim
