Hey, could you sell me quail/eggs?
Are you keeping your chicks in the brooder for 6 weeks because you live in cold climate? My chicks are 2 weeks old and look well-feathered. That said, it is 87° F here today in southern CA at the beginning of November. What is a reasonable night time temperature for them to tolerate?
Thanks!
Nothing to add, @TwoCrows has said it all.
Mine go out at 2 weeks with a supplemental heat lamp in the coop (60W). They are fully feathered and stanky, so out they go. I put some out last week and for the first few days they stayed near the lamp but now I see them hanging out outside the warm sheltered area. It's about 40 at night, so they are sleeping in there.
I kicked mine out early too. The daytime temps were warmer than my house and they had the heat plate for nighttime.
