The young adult chicken
At about 4- 6 weeks they will have all their real feathers. At about 6-8 weeks the y can probably move into the coop if it is ready. They will be growing very fast. They will start to develop their combs and wattles (the fleshy thing on top of their head and under their chin).
They can be taken off the feed with antibiotics and given feed often called developer. There are also some feeds that are a combination starter and developer feed. Check with your local feed stores. Feed also comes in pellets and crumbles. If you feed crumbles, you supposedly don’t have to feed grit. I feed both. Sometimes I alternate. Sometimes I mix the two together.
Whatever I feel like at the moment.
You should supplement them with grit if they are strictly coop chickens. Grit is small quartz based sand that they need for digestion since they don’t have any teeth. You can also use the oyster shell calcium as grit, although some say not to and that you need separate grit. The food is followed whole and churned around in their stomachs. If they get out for some free ranging every few days or so, you probably don’t need the grit. The first thing my girls go for when I let them out is the gravel in the dirt.
The chickens can go into the coop as soon as they have their feathers and it is warm outside. They may need the heat lamp if it gets cool at night below 50 degrees)
Make the coop as simple or as fancy as you need. The chickens really don’t care one way or the other. The coop should be equipped with a place to perch. You don’t necessarily need to have the nesting boxes built yet. They don’t go in them really until they are ready to lay (at about 4-6 months). Protection from predators like raccoons, coyotes, dogs and any other animals is necessary. This may mean digging the fencing down into the earth so nothing can burrow underneath. They also need to have a place where they can get out of the rain and wind. If you are in a place that gets cold in the winter (below freezing) you may have to provide a source of heat. A simple heat lamp will do. Chickens can get frostbite!
You may want to create a window or something that opens that you can reach in and get the eggs out easily everyday without going in the coop.
