Great idea. Bought a couple for my dog a few months ago! Will use one but I'm moving them out next week so I've been opening the garage door last weel and they get sun.

Hi. Welcome! I'm on the same boat, here in central fl. I will move my chicks at 6 weeks ago next week, they have been getting sun on and off and have a rooster (6 mo old as well) that is lonely so I will place them in a separate area of the coop so they can see each other and interact without...

Hello 👋 Newbie here. Got a few chicks which are 4 weeks old already and now I got a 6 mo old rooster. Have the chicks on a brooder set up in my garage (still in the 50s in central fl) so I am planning on moving them to the coop in about 2 weeks or so but I got a new (buff orpington as well)...
