My 4 poults have survived to 4 weeks with no issues so far, knock on wood.
I still provide them with a 150 watt heat lamp at night.
During warm days which we've had a lot of recently (80's - 90's) they go out
in a large portable dog kennel I set up on some ground that hasn't been used
that much by my waterfowl.
At what age/temps can I stop providing the heat lamp at night
and what day time temps are safe for them to be outside in?
I have a tarp on 3/4 top of the pen and perches so they have protection from light rain
but I haven't put them out on windy or stormy days, just warm, sunny day.
Thanks much for any advise.
