This is our first year to have chickens and I'm trying to find out all I can to do things right so getting laughed at is ok with me. We have ventilation in the top of the coops so that the air doesn't blow across the chickens on the roost. I just didn't know when a little heat was actually needed.All the northerners are making fun of us in the south for talking about needing heat. They are talking about winterizing their coop and adding heat...when it hits the single digits and subzero.

Where are you at? How old are they?Any Georgians want 4 NN Turken hens before they are sold as meat birds? They are too old for my flock but my buddy who just bought them strictly deals in meat birds and that's exactly how he will advertise them.
Mine are only between 3 and 8 weeks old so i am leaving the heat in the coop until the chicks all are at least 6 weeks old. At that point i plan to start weening them off the heat lamp during the middle of the day and only using it at night. Unfortunately i have naked necks, silkies and showgirls and i am not willing to trust their fluffy little feathers to keep them warm quite yet.

Awww, to bad, I'm all the way at the bottom of the state, right above Tallahassee, FLStockbridge. The woman said they were almost POL.
