HI,
I have six rhode island reds. They are about three weeks old and feathers coming in nicely. I started them in my garage in a brooder kit and two days ago moved them to the chicken with the brooder and lamp inside. At what point will it be ok to open the coop door during the day and let them into the run? The average temp is 60F getting down to 35-40 at night. Or should I just open it while i'm in there and let them play a bit or no? I don't feel they are getting much stimulus (spelling) all cooped up so to speak. Tell me your thoughts on this please?
Thanx Dan
