Hi all, we are from Southern Alberta, a few miles from High River. We acquired 24 day old chicks about four weeks ago. They have been in a brood box with a heat lamp on 24/7, as our basement is quite cool. I have been reading up quite often and have likely come across the answers to my questions in amongst all the posts I have read- but as a new mamma to these little ones I would like to give them a fighting chance without compromising their success. It is about 10-12 Celsius at night here, would it be too risky to move them to our barn? We do not have electricity out there yet but are working on a few options. They would not have a heat lamp for the next month. Any suggestions? The barn coop is 16 x 16 and over 10 foot tall but not drafty. There is a 14 x 14 attached outdoor run. They are red leghorns. We also have a beautiful barred rock rooster and a Wyandotte.
