Care Guidance

Nearly-feathered chicks are not quite ready to go outside into the coop and still need some supplemental heat. They should be kept between 75-85 degrees as they continue to grow in the last of the feathers that will keep them insulated. Keep them in a brooder with a heat lamp, clean their space regularly, and check on them often until they are fully feathered and ready to go outside to live in a chicken coop, usually around 6 weeks old.
