very true I would have to get out of breeding if I had to raise inside. A few days but that's it they're out haven't lost any yet but our winter are mild enough

I keep mine in the house or garage as long as they need a heat lamp. Since 90% of babies hatched around here are hatched during the winter for some reason. Winters are mild and they would be fine outside with a mama, but we have a tiny hawk that snatches babies out of the yard. By the time they start getting feathers they don't get messed with, baby ducks don't get messed with. Just new baby chicks. I think that's all it can get without landing in the yard and our pyr chases and barks at any bird flying over the backyard. So for at least the first couple of weeks I have to have them confined. It's just been easier to toss them in a rubber maid tub with a heat lamp in the house. Lol. If it's warm enough, the garage. Because we never had an issue with hawks going after the bigger chickens and chicks, I didn't know about it until one of my hens lost all of her babies but one while I was gone for 20 minutes picking my kid up from school.

Some babies squeeze through the wire and get gone, sometimes we get lucky and the little things manage to run into another pen with bigger wire openings and we can put them back in with the mama. They're just guaranteed to reach adulthood inside. Lol.

Are they all free range?

Ever put your hand in a dozen huddled up chicks. They make lots of heat.
Reminds me I got 100 jap quail chicks one time I got home idk 6-7 pm left them in a big box overnight by morning maybe 15-20 were alive. Too much of their own heat took a toll. In conclusion chicks make lots of heat. Middle one could get suffocated though
