We were unexpectedly awarded chicks by one of our broody hens on Thanksgiving. They are now 5 weeks old. We weren't setup to brood chicks so we quickly went to lowes and got a 75 gallon container and heat lamp.
They are now quite crowded in the container. Only problem is temps outside are highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s. And it's only December. What should we do?
I have a attached closed in carport that stays somewhat warmer than outside. Should I setup a little fence in there with a heat lamp? It's concrete floors tho.
