Time of the year you would take on new chicks, knowing that I live in Michigan and we are already having 50 degree nights and I don't want them in the house all winter
Just curious.

The Midwest hatchery Mt. Healthy will ship chicks up to mid December. I personally would not place an order beyond mid to late November. They will do fine in a brooder with a heat lamp until they feather out and then good to go in the coop. I usually add a brooder lamp in their isolated coop area for a few weeks as well to handle cool nights. It makes a great transition. Hope this helps!Time of the year you would take on new chicks, knowing that I live in Michigan and we are already having 50 degree nights and I don't want them in the house all winterJust curious.
