Juveniles should deffinatley be tried as adults because, its not like they dont know what they are doing. Now a days people are smarter than you think, with the increase in technology, you cant take anyone for granite.e responsible for what you did! Minors should be tried as adults because they made the same mistakes as adults. If they had the guts to break the law they should have the responsibility to face what they did.
You can leave the chicks with the mother but it will only last 4 to 8 weeks. Usually, it's the mother hen who wants to wean them and get back to her flock. In warm weather, you don't really need a heat lamp, but get a secure pen and chick starter until they're 20 weeks old.
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.
