Our Black East Indies turn three weeks old tomorrow and they are being brooded currently. They seem to visibly grow everyday and we are getting nervous, because their outside home is not close to being ready, and there is snow on the ground. We'd like some opinions on when we should plan on moving them outside. We live in Connecticut, and the temperture could be anything in the next two months.
Holderread says duckings 6-8 weeks old can withstand temps 50f or lower, but I dont want to make a mistake!
They will be 8 weeks old towards the end of Feb. Maybe we will plan on March 1st or so. Never did this before, so we want to do this right.
What do you folks think??
