Thanks for the info Judy. I think that I am now going to put the brooder in my 1/2 bath in my bedroom and see how that works. They would still stay warm if the bulb burned out and I could keep and eye on them too. Thanks again....Laura
Thanks johnny, I don't even have them yet and I'm already stressing about them. I've never had baby chicks as I got mine last August and they were between 8 to 10 weeks old and it was hot out side. Any other info would be appreciated
I am suppose to get 10 chicks March 2nd with an estimated hatch date of Feb10th. Could y'all please tell me how long they will need to be in a brooder and because of my fat cat can I put it in the storage buidling off of my back porch, it is not heated. Will the heat lamp be enough for them to...
