First off, I cannot believe how fast these babies are growing! I weighed several of them at 17 days old. They ranged from 4 oz to 6.4 oz. They're huge! They're about 22 days now. I've been raising their light every few days, especially since it's been in the high 70's here. About when should they be ready to wean from the heat? I'd like to move them onto wire, but don't want to do it too soon. They are going to be too big for their horse trough brooder in about, oh, 2 days~LOL
 
They could probably do without it now, if they are still inside. Mine usually lose their lights around 3 weeks old. In the warmer months they go outside then, but it's not quite warm enough for that yet

Thank you! They are still inside. I started moving things around this morning to bring in the 3 tier double width cages I have for them. It's going to be nice to have them higher off of the ground, instead of down inside a water trough
