I have been observing the behavior of my Cornish roasters and dont like what I see. They are laying with their legs spread out and when you pick them up, theyre HOT! I turned the heat lamp off a couple of days ago and the temp remains about 80 or so. Theyre just a couple weeks old. I dont want anything to happen. Any advice? Are they ready to go out in the big pen soon?
If it's 80 out side, they can go out no problem at like 3 weeks old. They eat alot and generate lots of heat. Watch for heat stroke though.
