Flock School
-
Heat by the week: 95°F and down
Start at 95°F and drop about 5°F a week until your chicks are feathered.
-
The first 48 hours
Water first, then watch where they gather: your chicks will tell you if the heat is right.
-
Set up the brooder before pickup day
Get heat, bedding, feed and water ready a day before your chicks come home.
