I couldn't agree more, and won't crucify you. I really feel they do better that way.
I just had someone stop by and purchase 6 4 week old Sumatra's from me. She couldn't get over how feathered they were. No heat lamp after about 2 weeks or so, and a room that fluctuates between 50 and 60 degrees. And outside penned up during the day. Sometimes it's still in the upper 30's when they go out. They are fine, and pretty much fully feathered. I really truly believe all the heat is a hinderence, not a help.... but that's just my 2 cents....
Tomorrow when I finish the new coupe the 4 week olds will be living outside for the remainder of their lives....
