Good morning!
I am a new chicken mama. This is my first time raising a flock. My chicks are a month old, give or take a day. We have six chicks, 3 Barred Rocks and 3 Tetra Browns. Their coop is up and we have been putting them outside during the day as the temps have been going up into the 80's. We bring them in at night. It is about 62 degrees right now and just started raining. They are protected from the rain unless it comes in sideways which it isn't right now. They seem to be fine. They are out there scratching, eating drinking. No one is crying (except mama hen here). What I would like to know is if I should bring them in. Is it too cold and wet outside today to let them stay out in the coop? I didn't even think this morning when I had my daughter put them out there for the day we've had such gorgeous weather.
Thank you in advance!
