I've searched many threads but I cannot find my answer
What I'm wondering is if its okay to move my 12 year old chicks outside (I know, 12 weeks is way too old to still be in a brooder and I started them way too early)?I've been introducing them to the outside on warm days, but here in Illinois, the nights still drop below 30.
I, and them, are getting tired of being inside!!
They're currently in a 56 degree basement with no heat lamp. If I were to move them out to the coop permanently on a day around 55, would I need some sort of heat source for the colder nights?
Any info will help, thank you!
