I'm not raising anymore chicks in the winter. This is the second time I do it and I don't even know why I'm trying again... My last ones did amazing outside, but most were roosters and I had only 1 pullet!

Yeah I raised my first chickens not really in winter but close, they hatched end of October, so late fall, so they were pretty big by winter, but still wasn’t very fun lol

These ones were outside right away. Well after a week.

Better than inside 3 weeks then garage an additional 4 lol

And oh wow that sucks!
 
Maybe I'll wait until the beginning of December. Only issue is I have those other 12 chicks hatching next weekend! Where do I put them? I think I'll have to make a divider so they can see each other but not touch then I'll let them all be together after about a week!

I think that’s a good idea! Although with a lamp they’d probably be okay outside. Especially they’re inside a building or something too.

Maybe get an extra lamp or something?

I used a heating pad with mine.
 
DH begged me not to hatch anymore until I had my room built in the shed where I could control the temps but I was hoping based on the 90+* temps in early October that I would have more time before winter set in!!! :oops:
I got a talking to about quail and needing to wait until it's warmer, I wanted to throw a toddler temper tantrum but it's true. It's better when it's warmer for us and the quail.
