    How many MHPs for 100 chicks in outdoor brooder?

    I’m excited to announce that I’ll be bringing home 100 chicks to add to my little flock in June! (if you've just come from my other anxiety riddled post, welcome to another lmao) After doing extensive reading I’ve decided to outdoor brood. Originally we built a wild wall to separate the coop...

    Does anyone use these?

    Does anyone actually use these in their brooders? Are they ok? (Sorry about the bad photo, it's straight off my computer😅)

    Keep eggs warm during night for several hours?? Help!

    I need help, I made a homemade incubator from some videos I saw online. But the main heat source is a lightbulb. Every night I turn it off because I don’t want it to overheat or to make the eggs too hot. But, when I wake up in the morning the eggs are about 70 degrees. What can I do to keep the...

    New chicks!

    Today I brought home 3 new chicks. An Ameracauna, a White Orpington, and a Cuckoo Maran. They will be 3 weeks on Monday. It's 83.7 degrees in the room. Do I still need to provide additional heat? I have a heating pad, but I didn't put it in yet. Right now they're sleeping side by side...

    Mother heating pad for guineas?

    Hello! Long time lurker but first time posting. I have guinea keets shipping tomorrow and I just got my chicken brooder set up today. I love using the heating pad method and making a ‘cave’ for chicks to crawl under. I successfully raised 15 this spring, they all feathered out at 4 weeks old...

    Keeping baby chicks inside, and fire hazards

    Hey guys! I know this has been covered a whole bunch, but could not find the precise information I was looking for. Finally convinced DH to let me keep some backyard chickens.

    Second Time Around

    Ok... so last year I tried to incubate an egg from Trader Joe's and failed. Anyway, I decided to try again... I have a heating pad set up in a plastic shoe box with a container of water as a way to incubate the egg. I've read about someone that used a heating pad before but one thing though...
