Weather is in the 90s in the day and the 70s at night. The chicks are 8 days old and snuggle under the heating pad at sundown.
How long until I can unscrew the door to the (predator proof) run? I don’t want them to get mixed up and not go in for food and water or supplemental heating under the MAma heating Pad while I am at work.
There is a tarp over 80 percent of the run so it is almost fully shaded during the day.
Shortly after the same time as the chicks are ready for this step I want to put the waterer outside of the coop also.
I know on Saturday at 6 days old they had no interest in jumping onto that ramp so that could be a ways away yet.
