So I am completely knew to raising chickens, so I need all the help I can get. Right now my 3 week old chicks are in the garage in a brooder. I do have a heat lamp as its been dipping into the 60s-70s where I live. I was wondering when do I stop giving them supplemental heat and when can I properly move them outside without worrying about a heat source? I live in Massachusetts by the way so our weather is all over the place.
Also I am going to buy chick grit tomorrow is there brands or types that you recommend?
I am currently building my own chicken coop in the form of a wooden shed. I am planning on insulating the shed as we do have harsh winters in Mass. What are some other things I should add to the chicken coop besides the basics?
Also If you have any tips or tricks or fun facts you learned while raising chicks I would be happy to hear any stories or information you can give. Thank you all so much.
