Hi all,
My five six-week-old chicks are now too big (and too noisy) to stay in their brooder in the living room. Our coop is not yet finished, but I have a 35-square-foot atrium in the middle of the house where I've been letting them play during the day. (So much for the vegetation in THAT garden). Can I leave them in that atrium at night if I set up a heat lamp? (It gets down to about 55 degrees here at night.) It seems like all the heat would just get dispersed in that big space.
Thanks!
Susan
