Hello!

[RubiconChicken]

Hello all! I am a new chicken owner! I got 12 chicks a month ago. They are now 4.5 weeks old and growing like weeds! I have 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Speckled Sussex, 2 Buff Laced Polish, and 6 Ameracaunas. So far one of the Speckled Sussex and one of the Polish are most certainly roosters. The coop is nearly finished and I am looking forward to transitioning them to the great outdoors if the weather would ever warm up!

How warm is it where you are?

It is about 70 degrees during the day and then dropping to 50-55 at night still.

Get 'em out! That's perfect for them.
