Ohh that makes sense! Yeah, winter is one thing I'm worried about, mostly about putting them out so young.
I hadn't even realized I won't need nest boxes right away, that's a good point. They don't start laying until at least 5 months anyways, right? So even if I put them out at 2 months that's still a long time I guess.
I didn't even think to ask for stuff, I'll have to try that.
But yeah, I think once I get the coop up I'll probably raise any more I get outside.
How do you get a hen to raise chicks? I know this is probably kind of a different thread but do they have to be broody first or can you just stick eggs or chicks under them?
