Hi all!
We are nearing completion of the coop-interior floor space 68 sq ft, 8 ft walls, peak ceiling with rafters, vents on both ends, 3 windows, double-floor, insulated walls...
I bought a chick starter kit from Meyer's. Can I start my chicks in the coop? There will be 14 (well that's what i ordered from MPC)? They will arrive the week of April 14th.
I know about heat and have the lamp. What does the surrounding air temp need to be in the coop? I really want to start them there. Coop is warmer than garage; have cats inside the house and a pre-school. Coop is brand new.
Advice???
Thanks SOOOO much!
