Hi All,
I am not a total newbie when it comes to raising chickens, but have never actually had them as day old chicks. I have 4 coming at the end of April. I plan to raise them in the mudroom in a box with pine shavings and a heat lamp. What suggestions do you have for food, heat temperature, how long should they stay inside, when and how should I introduce them to the rest of the flock?
Thanks in advance.
