A person who has hearing within the normal range can hear sounds that have frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hz. The most important sounds we hear every day are in the 250 to 6,000 Hz range. Speech includes a mix of low and high frequency sounds:
We've had chickens for several years however we have started a new flock of 12 chicks. They are 6-8 weeks old with their adult feathers. We put them outside earlier this week in a separate space (an enclosed rabbit hutch with three solid sides) from the adult chicken.deally, chicks will not require a heat source when moving from brooder to coop. If the temperatures outside remain above 65Â°F and the chicks are at least 5 weeks old, they can probably move into the coop without supplemental heat.
For heavy breeds, like Barred Rocks or Buff Orpingtons, if you let your chickens out to forage during the day, then the coop that you put them in at night should have at least 4 square feet of space per bird. Thus, a 4â² by 8â² coop would be adequate for about 8 birds.
