I need the lowdown on the brooder temps please & free-ranging

[ssledoux]

Can someone please break down the schedule of the temps and what they need to be when. I really appreciate it. I've got chicks a week apart, not in the same brooder, but need to know at what point they no longer need heat so I can put them together in our large brooder.

Also, what's the earliest you've start letting yours free-range (locking up at night of course)?

you can let them free range at 6 to 8 wks old.
