Hi @PillowdoKSA Welcome To BYC

Can you post some photos of your little chicken, we would love to see him?
Also some photos of your garden - where you plan on keeping him.

I had to look up where you are located in the world If I found the right place it seems your daytime temperatures are around 108F right now. That is plenty warm for any chicken regardless of their age.

If your garden is fenced or there is a way to keep him safe from predators (cats, dogs, birds of prey, etc.) then I feel that you can put him outdoors now. You may want to make a shelter/coop for him for cooler nights, but he may not need heat even at night.

I'm not familiar with the type of feed available to you, so I can't comment on that - a photo of your bag may be helpful. It sounds like he is eating and drinking just fine. One thing that you want to do if make a source of grit available for your chick. Grit is usually made of crushed granite - if you have some course sand, dirt, small rocks/pebbles that you can place near him (he will find these naturally outside) this would be good.

I hope all goes well and look forward to your photos.

@centrarchid input?

Crushed corn can be good, it sounds like he is eating it. He does need a source of grit as previously mentioned. A growing chick will need a variety of nutrition, so offer him a little protein like chopped egg, fish, meat and a small amount of fresh vegetables/fruit in addition to the corn (I don't know what you have available). Since you have a garden that he will be kept in, he will most likely find some small bugs and plants to forage on as well.

If you have a neighbor/friend/family member that successfully raises chickens, you can also ask them what they give their chickens. They will eat just about anything.

A simple enclosure works well! Since you have a lot of heat, provide plenty of ventilation so it has air flow. Bedding can be sourced from your yard/garden if it's available - leaves, grasses, etc. Also consider placing the housing where it has shade.

If you are new to chickens, then I suggest getting a proper chick feed. Show current pictures of him.
