My children and me are new to raising chickens they are about two weeks old. They are currently in our basement under a heat lamp. My question is can I put them in my outbuilding under a heat lamp or would it be to cold. Temps for the next few days are lows in the upper 50's next week it looks like lows in the 40's. What do you think leave them where there at or would they be fine in there brooder in the building. Thanks for any help.

A LOT of people brooder outside. At two weeks, keep the heat lamp with them and they will be fine outside.

I think with the outsides temps you will have they should be fine with the heat lamp.

I raised mine in a brooder with a heat lamp in an outdoor unheated shed and had no problem keeping it warm enough.

Thanks for the help I thought they would be ok just didn't want to kill all our little friends by not making sure. Thanks again
