New chicks

[SCDunn]

Hey everyone I'm new to this chick raising. I was just wondering if it was ok to put 4 day old chicks in a coop with a light if they r going to be the only birds in it.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

You might want to pen them in a small area to protect them from drafts and keep them close to food and water.

Thanks. Will do. I live in Kentucky and the weathers not to bad. Just didn't want to do anything to harm them. Thanks again 1muttsfan
