Any of my fellow central Ohioans know the temps are going to get up close to 80 degrees today and stay warm for the next several days. My husband and I were planning on moving our chicks (2.5 week old Leghorns and 1.5 week old Red Stars) to the coop and run... putting their heat lamp out in it for the nights, etc.
Only thing is, it's very breezy here today and since the chicks haven't been out in the open air since they were hatched I'm worried the breeze will make them sick.
I know they'll eventually have to be in the breeze but I'm worried about taking that step. Is it too soon? Should I wait a few more weeks? They're outgrowing their brooder box fast!
