How cold is it where you are? Do you already have chickens and/ or a coop?
Mine are 4 weeks. They were inside for 2 weeks and are now in a larger, covered brooder in the garage. 2 weeks indoors was really pushing it for us with 17 chicks. We have to build a coop, but if we had a coop that is where they would be going soon, but it’s still fairly cold at night here). We have a barn building they can be in while we build, but we’ve found evidence of mice and rats (but seems to be an old/past problem that previous owners dealt with) so we are baiting and cleaning the barn while there are no animals of ours in it.
