Good article, I have my baby (5.5 week old chicks ) out side, with chained, super attached, screwed in, and secured heat lamps. (no birds can get to the lamps, chicks are not near big birds.) They are all warm, running about acting like they have chores to accomplish. I bring the babies, and the big birds fresh water 3 times a a day, I have the time, and I love visiting, plus while I am out I can collect eggs, and visit with birds.
THANK YOU a thousand times! This cuts down so much hunt-time, sorting through threads and articles. You've covered pretty much everything - and just in time for the Maryland winters ... which are, unfortunately, right around the corner. I want my flip-flops back!
