I am not new to chickens I have 12 layers. I am new to a meat bird. I have property they can free range on.
Question 1- How long do they need a heat lamp? Since they grow quicker I'm trying to figure out the transition.
Question 2- since they can free range I worry about predators. Ravens mainly since they will be in an enclosure at night. Surely in the 15 I am getting there must be a rooster who would keep em safe?
Thanks for the help and input!! I'm sure I'll have more questions later!
