I would want to try to duplicate their current living conditions as far as temperatures went and then ween them off of that. Unless you're living in the arctic, those birds should have been weened off of supplemental heat a long time ago, at 5-6 weeks maximum. Keep in mind that if they are used to a 80-90 degree brooder and have never been wet and then you expose them to 60 degree damp rainy nights, you may loose a few. 80 degrees to 60 degrees is a big jump when you've never done it!I'd ween them off of the heat for a few days and spray them with water in the process before I just instantly exposed them to no heat whatsoever.
The folks I'm gettin them from said they have never heard them call.
Oh yeah, will the Jumbo BWs and the Wiconsin Jumbos cross-breed?........
