Hi folks, I'm new to chickens and to this forum. We have 4 Sizzle chicks (3 smooth and 1 frizzled) that hatched on Jan 15-20. It has been in the high 30's to low 40's at night and in the 60's to low 70's during the day. They are out in the coop with a heat lamp on at night. Keeping the coop pretty warm. That said they do not enter the coop on their own. They seem to prefer to cuddle up in a corner under the coop. When I heard them in they do stay until early in the morning when they leave for food and water and to do other chick stuff.
My question is do I need to continue to turn the lamp on at night and heard them into the coop or can I just let them be and figure it out on their own?
Thank you
Alec
