I'm not as far north as you, lol Central Texas..Well, If you have plenty of space in the brooder, the chicks can get as far away as they want from the lamp. I think it's cheaper to do a lamp.
Yes, you will have to clean the waterer. I put mine up on a board. It helps a bit, but they still get it dirty.
I think you should wait until until its a bit warmer outside, to order. That way you can move them outside, or wherever, without worrying about it being too cold. What are you getting?
I'm torn as to what to get. I was going to get Buff Orpingtons (neighbor suggestion)
But I like the idea (another suggestion on here) to get a mix for the first time...
