Hello Becky, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Is your coop and run built? First piece of advise, do NOT buy a pre-fab coop.

Glad to meet you, Cindy. The best and shortest article I know about chick raising is this one. Highly recommend. Best wishes with your new chicks!

Too late, bought a pre-fab!!
Going to build onto n around it so it’s safer and more room for them!!
Since mine are 5 weeks old I’ve been putting them out in it during the day for 5/6 hrs.
The question is what is too hot for them to be outside? They are mostly in the shade but so have some sun early in the morning.
Any and all advice appreciated!!
