I live in Kansas and we are in an area where the wind just never stops blowing. I also thought I had to wait until spring to get chicks until I ran across some information about raising chicks in the winter and allowing them to harden off in the spring. Apparently, doing so allows the birds more time to transition throughout the seasons in their adolescence and into early maturity, making them hardier birds in the long run. I am planning to test the theory this winter with breeds that naturally lay during that time of year.

5 weeks out to the coop in winter with supplemental heat. But my coop is small and insulated so the heater keeps it 70 degrees in 40 degree temps

It's still in the 80s in Texas 😂 I miss the NC weather

I didn’t realize you guys were in NC! We lived in concord up until a month ago when we moved just south of Charlotte. That heat tray is awesome, I’m gonna look into it before our next batch of chicks in feb
