Hi all,
I live on the coast of northern California. Daytime temps here in the summer are usually in the 60's and partly cloudy, and night time temps are around 50. My chicks are only a couple of weeks old, so I won't move them outside for at least a couple more weeks, but am wondering if going from the warmth of our house and the heat lamp to outside without a heat source is going to be a shock for them? Is that what people usually do?
