Well, the six week olds and the eight week olds will spend their first night outside in their new coop! It's finally ready enough for them to live in, with some minor touch-ups to do. Thank goodness! Chicks in the laundry room was getting a little old, lol!! Bless my Dh for completing it, his first real building project!
Our night temps are currently around 50 degrees F and I'm hoping that's not too cold for the first night. DH said we don't have an extension cord long enough to reach the coop and we didn't wire it with electricity. Do you think they'll be okay? The opening (the soon-to-be window) that is there now, has only 1/2 inch hardware cloth over it, so there is no glass window installed yet. The air can go right through and the opening is about 18'' x 3 feet.
Any thoughts?
I could maybe use blankets to insulate if I have to. It's been so long that they've lived inside since being a day old, that I forget they can handle this, lol!!!
