Actually at the highest currently because the lowest setting on this one was barely warm at all. We might switch to the medium when they get older though. Also I forgot to say before but I was a heating pad that you could get damp, not like fully wet but it said in the instructions that you...

@thistlewick I heard you are looking for heating pad brands, sorry I don’t remember the brand of this one but I just went to Walmart and got a good size heating pad. It was just a regular heating pad for humans, not for outdoor or animals. It actually said on the instructions not for use on...

It is your responsibility to put up a fence if you are the one who doesn’t want their birds on your property

Thank you :love

It’s working great! They mostly sit on top and run around the brooder during the day and sleep under at night. Chicks are about a week old now and I’m moving the brooder outside to the coop this weekend!

For ours we used the top of a Guinea pig cage and an old rabbit hutch, you couldn’t get in with them but could sit beside it and watch, to transport we used a laundry basket

Here are some pictures

I have five hens and a rooster + seven new chicks!

The face looks a lot like my silkies face, comb included. I thought it had extra toes too, I see now it does not.

Looks part silkie to me

Updated picture, she is out and about now, before she was scared to leave the heating pad cave because of bullies but now she seems like she is not getting pecked as much

Four of the chicks hatched on Monday and the other three including her hatched on Tuesday, she did hatch last though

I think pullets but I’m no expert

Chick that hatched today has less fluff on back. Skin showing so other chicks peck. Another chick that hatched today that is doing fine and fluffy for reference (and cuteness):

Hatched today and last night!

Yep sun bathing, it’s normal

We are doing the chicks brooder out in the coop this year with a heating pad cave. Brooder is an old Guinea pig cage with pine shavings. Here’s the contraption I made. Heating pad tied to the underside of a bent piece of lobster trap to make the cave, and an old towel on top to finish it off...

Dyed some raw eggs from my flock (originally brown) and got super good results!! Hoping to sell them at my small farm stand tomorrow!

Even silkie roos can be mean, despite the gentle reputation of the breed. My rooster Quasimodo is the proof

6 eggs from 6 hens!!!! Winter is really over!:wee
