I was just at the auction 2 weeks ago and picked up 2 mottled hounans, They have been laying since day 1 but only one thing...they like to lay under the coop

So you almost need an apple picker to get eggs?

SO ..... back to all things bird related lol What is the youngest you would put your chicks outside in the coop, taking into account warmer temps etc.

I am not doing it yet, just want to get some rough ideas and other peoples take on the whole situation.

Hey Aussie:

I am not an expert on anything but, I sent my young girls out around 10weeks when the low temps were in the 50's....I'd think if they don't need a heat lamp outside is no different than inside at this time of the year....at 18weeks my girls still pile up in a scrum in two nesting boxes...and no eggs yet....

I put mine out at 8 weeks at the latest. You should be having eggs at anytime now!

wha..what??!! You guys are talkin crazy

....nasty...and yes they do ruin yards, got enough of them here if anyone wants to "free-range"!!!!

Chiques....Thank you for the water bottle idea...the bator is doing great keeping the temp. stable...and the humidity...I have just been taking out a water cup when it raises and put it back in when it falls...has only been by a degree or two, so not worried about things...although, I am going to keep bottles at the ready in case some of this weather gets nasty....we do have a generator, so if I have to, there is a back-up! The bator is great...I think YOU worked all the "kinks" out of it!!...

...

Blarney...they napkin idea is funny!! But I can imagine it does work very well!!! They aren't just "air plane" stickers anymore!!!!
