[CHICKENS-101] Re: New to chickens

 

Hi Heather,

We just got out new babies from Tractor Supply Thursday. I'm not sure hold old they are either. I know they are getting cute wing tips. I won't be taking mine out in 70 degree weather for a few more weeks. I'm not exactly sure what the temps. are for them as I need to look that up again. It's been 9 months since we had babies, and they were 2 1/2 weeks old when we got them at that time. I'm sure yjere ate posts on herr that will say.

Have fun!
Marci

Not sure if that was the best place to buy them... but we did, so hopefully they will be healthy and lay well. My question right now is this...

I think they are about 3-4 weeks old and the temperature is suppose to be around the mid to high 70's tomorrow. I really wasn't sure if that was to cool for them at this age. We are in the learning stages right now and are reading as much as we can but I will appreciate any advice given here.
