Hello there. First, I would like to say thanks for having us to your wonderful site. Myself, my wife and our three year old daughter just purchased two youg chickens last week. The girl said they were around four weeks old. I have had them in an enclosed area for the first week but want to move them to their new coop. I want to start letting them roam our property. Is there anything special I should do before hand? Will they fly away? We have fifteen acres here. Also, do I need to have a heater in their new coop or would 100 watt light directly over them be enough? Sorry to be so virgin here, but I would just like to do the right thing for our new family members.
Thank-you,
Terry
