Ok I have fourteen - 6 wk old light brahma chicks I built this coop and run combo and am wondering if they will be ok to put out in it today when I get it done (will post pics later whole coop cost me $6.00!
) The house part which I will shut them in at night is floor grade plywood framed out with 4x4's and 2x4's and has a hardware cloth floor, I am gonna cover the floor with a linoleum scrap till they are 8 wks. The roof is floor grade plywood topped with a red tin roof, the dimensions are 28" W x 53" L x 30" H. Do I need to add a bulb or should they be able to self brood? The 15 day forcast has the lowest overnight as 45 degrees and temps in the day all over 70. They need to go out before I go crazy!
LOL ( I have 14- 1 wk. olds in another brooder add 3 kids, 1 husband, 1 small dog and 2 cats and that's the recipe for crazy lady)
