Redwing Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yes they will be fine at 10 weeks Do aclimatise them though first by putting them out in the day and bringing them in at night for a few days then choose a nice mild night for their first night in the coop Be prepared to bring them back in at night if things get very bad but I think you shoudl be fine A little grain (corn is ideal but what or birdseed will do) a short while before they go to roost will keep their digestive system working hard all night which will keep them extra warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
