Outside is fine and you don't need heat lamps (read the thread on the peeps in Alaska who don't use heat lamps). 5 weeks old is generally old enough to go outside full time! =)Hi all!! I have a coop questions! We are up in Carthage, so what do you suggest when it comes to building a coop? Should I be able to move it into the garage come winter time, or will they be ok out there all winter long (with lamps and such)? I have 8 chicks now, 5 weeks old and they are still sleeping in our house at night, and go out and play on nice days. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Welcome newchklvr to the NY thread!! Yup 5 weeks is old enough for outside, do wean them from the heat lamp. No external heat source is needed for winter (think fire hazard), just make sure your coop is not drafty but has adequate ventilation. No need to put in garage either. Have fun with your birds!!!!Hi all!! I have a coop questions! We are up in Carthage, so what do you suggest when it comes to building a coop?

My sister in law just called to ask if there was a lost and found chicken place she could go. It appears her friend living on Horizon Lane in Levittown has had a hen walking around her yard for the past few days. She's posted pics on facebook and it sounds like maybe a rhode Island red. Sounds like a well taken care of chicken as it jumped in her lap when she sat on her chair. She is currently locked in her garage with some food (not appropriate chicken feed though) and water.
Anyone know if any levittown people on here that keep chickens? The woman who has her is Sue Maran and her number is 516-306-8830. I suggested she walk around the neighborhood and ask people if they know who she might belong to. If they can't find the owner, anyone willing to take her in? She's friendly, appears to be healthy and clean.
