First night with no heatlamp!

[Eddy Chicken]

My chicks have been outside for 4 weeks now. They'll be 9 weeks old on Monday. I've been turning off the heatlamp in the morning at 7AM and back on at 8pm. They have a nice run and usually hang out outdoors until the sun goes down then I lock them in their coop and turn on the lamp. Tonight the temps are supposed to go down to the mid-30's and the light is staying off!


It was only 15 degress F this day so I had the light on for them. As you can see they prefered to be outside.

The Coop!

They Dont Need Heat Once They Are Fully Feathered..... When Ours Get Fully Feathered They Dont Get No More Light..... Thats A Nice Coop You Have Thats Plenty For Them

They made it!

I keep food and water in the coop and in the moring the water is empty and the food is a mess but this time with the lamp off the water and food were barely touched.

Happy chickens with a full nights rest!
