6, 4 week old (and a couple days) chicks have been in a brooder in my shed. I need to acclimate them to outside but the weather is usually nasty. If it’s not snowing then it’s very windy. Highs are upper 50’s and lows are mid 30’s. Now they’ve been in a heated shed set to 50F but they also have a ceramic bulb making the brooder around 75ish. Can I eliminate the bulb now? It will get around 60 during the day and 50 at night. I plan to take them into their run an hour or so each day (weather depending &supervised) and back to brooder for a week or so. Anything wrong with this?
Oh they are mostly feathered in, a bit of fluff on the head still.
