Response to new chickens

Hi Shaun, Just looked in Gail Damerow's book, and she said that once the chicks are developing their adult feathers and look really scuffy it is time to wean them off of the lamp. 50 doesn't seem to bad a temp. I love my chickens and enjoy them so much. Not to mention the eggs. My boys ate a dozen this morning and I never worry about using all the eggs. They always remark at how orange our eggs are. We got some extra ones from a friend and his were light yellow. Ours are free ranged and are bright orange. We love it. Have fun. Karole
