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.
The key is to make your coop a safe place for the chickens to lay their eggs and sleep. 1  A rule of thumb is 4 square feet inside the coop per chicken (2 square feet per bantam) and 10 square feet of outdoor space (8 square feet per bantam). 2  The coop should have good air flow and a low roost for your chickens to sleep. Keep the boxes dark. 2  If you build laying boxes that can be accessed from outside as well as in, you won't need to go inside every time to collect the eggs. 3  The floor should be lined with untreated pine wood chips (cedar can be toxic to chickens), sawdust, straw or pine needles and cleaned once a week.
