Cooper Gs Coop
Chirping
Right now near Syracuse NY our temps are roughly 50-55 during day 35-40 at night. I have 6 chicks at 6 weeks old and 6 at 4 weeks old. I do not want to put them outside at different times, I want everyone new to the coop together. Would it be ok to move them outside this coming weekend? My younger chicks will be closer to 5 weeks at that point. We had them outside yesterday in the sun at about 55 degree temps for the afternoon and they were fine. I'm getting anxious to move them outdoors because 1. Our house is getting covered in dust and downy feathers. We had them in a spare bedroom but now they're setup is in the basement. 2. I'm excited to see how they like the coop lol. It was a lot of hard work. 3. It gives our 3 daughters a reason to go outdoors instead of watching tv or playing on tablets. I do not have electric running to the coop yet, only an extension cord so I'm not going to chance leaving that plugged into a heat light for them. Thank you everyone for all the feedback we receive on here. It is so helpful.
