It can dip into the 20's easily here. Usually not until Dec-Feb, though. It's been in the upper 40s at night right now and I feel awful when I go out in the morning and their feet are cold ( It warms into the 70s-80s, during the day, though.

This has been a hard transition on me moving my babies outside. They have lived in our family room since they hatched in January. I feel like I am turning my kids out into the outside world. Even when they lived indoors, I let them outside during the day several times a week. I just love them so much, I don't want them to get too cold.

Here's photos:

Eleanor, Lily and Roosevelt. (Roosevelt and Eleanor came from eggs from that batch I got from you, catwalk

Baby Boo, of course, is still in the brooder cage.

How cold does it get in Amarillo? I use my comfort level to judge what the birdies need. I don't want to go outside anymore this year, so The birds are staying inside as well. The brooder is wrapped in blankets, and I'll be dusting off their "bun warmers" soon.

Roosevelt just takes my breath away! I see his father every now and then when show in Indiana, and the resemblance is amazing. It's like he has no other color genes in him than his father's! Now Elanore, on the other hand, I have nothing in the female variety in her color. I have just decided that I can sex my chicks based on their colors, seeing as they have two possible fathers, and one of them is sex linked choc. The buff and the almost black chicks are boys, and the beige and choc chicks are girls. Elanore convinced me that I need to wait and see, because that may not hold true....

My babies from the previous hatch are all outgrowing their brooder and alas, my older chicks are now free-ranging on my office carpet at will =///////// (Note to self: make brooder box walls TALLER next time)

Moving them up to the attic study area and renting a steam cleaner right after, but these guys definitely need their winter aviary done ASAP.
Beyond that, my poor only child is living it up with the quail babies still, not sure if/when to introduce him to the midget girl. I was hoping maybe one of my ugly pullet eggs would hatch soon, assuming the great Nuke of October 2010 didn't destroy them, but no luck yet. Anyway, Sera-quail is definitely putting out the grayish color wing feathers that I believe are termed "blue" in the poultry world....I may have to break down and take pics on my iphone, since the hubby is now looking to buy me a new camera after his Fix it attempts failed.

Its been awhile since I bought any, but I think size 6 worked for just about every one.....

My 9 yr old has just decided she wants to get some Serama's for her 4-h project this year. Does anyone have any hatching eggs available? I have read that they don't breed true, is this correct? She'd ideally like black mottled, although those calico looking one's are awfully pretty!!!!

HenThymes , that's one gorgeous daddy!!! What variety would he be?
