How many of you occasionally feed your birds scratch grains?
That would be the evening treat for the chickens. Their morning treat is BOSS. They EXPECT IT and they get real fussy if I'm too slow providing it when I come down. Didn't take the now 8 week old chicks any time at all to learn about the morning coop opening/treat (also get kitchen scraps then) and evening treat time.
 
Morning everyone.


All my chicks survived their first night outside! Temps went down to 14C(57F) for the overnight low. i had to set up a second heat lamp to keep the ambiant temp warmer. The lower one was about a foot off the floor and it was dropping down to 20C(72F) just on the edge of the light on the floor. Once i got the second light set up the tiny bantam chicks settled down.

I went out there at 9 this morning day time high today is supposed to be 36. It was already that warm inside with the heat lamps on. So i turned them off. I've never had chicks outside in a brooder in the summer before.
