I know this has been addressed other places but FL is not quite like most of the country. I am wondering at what point I can move my chicks to the coop up here in the panhandle. I am rather anxious to get them out of the house. It is a very open coop design but I plan on providing a box of some sort with a heat lamp that they can go to. They will be 4 wks Saturday.
I had my chicks out In the coop at 3 weeks old, but it was in June and there were no adult chickens around to pick on them. If you have heat for them and they are safe from adult and adolescent chickens, I think they should be fine.
