My 10 chicks, ranging in age from 6 weeks to 3 weeks, all like to bundle up together in the run under their coop at night to sleep. It has been getting to the low 50's here at night, and in the mid-70's to 80's in the day.
The ladder into the coop is down, and they all know how to go up and down it easily. I have their food and water in the run below the coop as well. It is secure to any predators.
Can they sleep "outside" at this age? They are not under the light at all when inside the coop, and I've switched the 120W heat bulb to a regular 75W bulb.
I'm just getting tired of having to crawl under the coop and put them into the coop at night, when they have the capability to do it themselves. Last night when imoved them, they all felt warm and cozy, even the youngest ones.
Thanks for your help!
