In the Brooder
Hi,first post,but I've been here reading here for a month or two. This is my first time raising chickens,so I'm sure I'll have a few questions along the way. Here's the first.
I don't know if they are technically chicks at this point,but my 13 hens are 13 weeks old now. We moved them from the house out to the coop at about 5 weeks. It was still kind of cold here at night back then,so we moved the 2 warmer lamps from their indoor boxes into the coop. Do they still need this at night for light? It's not cold at night anymore and I assume they can manage being in the pitch black coop at night,correct? Can they see,or do they just bump around in there?
Thanks!
