I've had my two chicks for a month now. I've successfully cared for them in a brooder, looked after their conditions, and treated to their needs. Now as my chicks grow older I need another set of guidelines to raise them as 'adolescents' and I have a few questions regarding it.
1. How much longer do they need the heat lamp? I live in an area where the days are semi warm and the nights are relatively cool. The heat lamp has been raised a lot and I'm not sure if it still has any effect.
2. When do they leave the brooder? How much longer do they need to be in the brooder?
3. Where's a good place to get a coop if not making one? Where do you get the materials to build a coop?
4. When can I sex them accurately based on what criteria?
Thanks a lot BYC community! Sorry for the newbie questions.
