Hi all,
I've got two Barred Rock hens that are about 9-10 weeks old. I've got them outside now, and we're expecting temperatures into the teens this weekend. I think they are "fully feathered", but I'm not real sure what that exactly means. They dont have any more downy featherse on their outside, but when I lift up a wing I do see a tiny bit of skin. Looks like their arm pit, really.
I'm just concerned that they're going to freeze out there. They snuggle up with each other, but unfortunately don't snuggle up with the full-grown RIR and silkie that also live in their coop.
Thanks...
