Good Afternoon Friends!
I have 5 chicks I hatched Labor Day weekend. The went from the kitchen under a lamp to the garage under the lamp. Then finally - just the garage with no lamp about a month ago. They are good sized and feathered out. I have been putting them outside during the day - but bringing them in at night. Our nights are now down to the 20's now with winter rolling in.
I just bought a small chicken coop that will fit them quite nicely. I have one 6 month old very timid chicken that will also be with them. I have to keep her separate from everyone because she is so mild mannered and gets picked on.
Do you think they are old enough to stay outside at night?
