Do I still need a heat lamp?

[karlamaria]

Chickens are now feathered out, and in there own coop, do I need the heat lamp if it's 39 tonight? There is 6 girls in the coop, can they handle it this cold at 10/12 weeks old ?

They should be fine.

Make sure it's draft-free, and plenty of bedding to cuddle in

No time like the present. At 10-12 weeks they need no more babying, that's for sure. If they roost, they'll just fluff up their feathers and cuddle closer to one another. It's what the robins and sparrows are going to do as well.
