Hi! We have 12 chicks in a 100gal tub as a brooder. They’ve done great but it is abundantly clear that they have outgrown it now. We live in Central Florida area so I know we’re the warmest of the states but I am still concerned as the temps are all over the place. Some nights get down to 32 and some are 60. This time of year is annoyingly inconsistent. The girls are 7+ weeks old now and appear to be fully feathered. I’m thinking they would be fine but I would like a a little boost of confidence in this venture.
Secondly, we have a neighbor with one too many roosters, they are in our yard all day every day. Will this be an issue? They then lead other chickens over as well. He doesn’t have much control over it and I don’t know that there is much we can do. I don’t know if they’ll bother the girls and when we let them free range what will occur. Any insight is so appreciated!! Thank you! I’ll post a pic of them so y’all can see their feathers.
