Fall chicks in Montana

[LtDanFan]

Now that we are moving back in to the house, day trips outside for the babies are feasible. That’s a great idea. I work overnights (8p-8a) and my partner works swing (noon-whenever the last plane leaves). I’m not sure about a broody as i think there is one but shes’ young and i dont want to put baby lives at risk due to cold. We are working at getting supplemental heat to the coop and re-doing the coup so its all up in the air.

I just mentioned our broody that I watched her during winter broods--i have a thread about her bc she wouldn't break.
They won't take older chicks.
I only have heat on the littles. The big girls are just in a windblocked run/coop.
Good luck
