EGLU HEAT PROBLEMS

[mimi5]

Hi all,

 

Just a quick question. Milly my broody pekin bantam started laying again and as Monty (cockerel) had been pinning, I popped her back with him the same day...he's a happy chap now!!! Chicks are 6 weeks old and really well feathered,also there's 4 of them. So they have been alone in their coop the last 2 nights and seem fine, but an online friend said they should still have Milly with them at night!!!! Ooops They really do seem fine, moving around eating loads!! I have a snuggle safe I could use.What do you think????

They should be fine but if the weather tuns colder again it may be worth putting them in a box in a shed or garage overnight

Thanks for the reply Redwing. I thought they seemed OK. Will keep an eye on the temperature at night. What would be the threshold do you think? Single figures maybe?

Yes, single figures would be the point where I start to watch mine
