Hello, Wondering if these birds are feathered out enough to go outside and into their own coop?? They are 4 weeks old today, with the exception of the bigger one, who is a bit older then that.

I bought 5 day old chicks two weeks ago, and i have them in my attached unheated enclosed garage which is about 40-50 deg F currently. Im in NY so its no where near warm outside yet, and mine are doing just fine under the premier plate. I have the 12x12 model and was very skeptical at first. I...

I used this today and sprinkled some in the run on the brown mulch.... the hens are scratching through it and pecking as usual, is it ok that they do that???? are the eggs still going to be ok to eat???

I just bought and used the Garden Star Poultry and Garden dust this morning. I cleaned out the coop, disposed of the bedding material in the coop and nest boxes, and then dusted the whole coop and replaced with new bedding. I also dusted each hen, under the wings and especially around the vent...

Thanks for all your help. Chicks arrived yesterday at noon, and all 5 have taken to the heat plate just fine. It is set up at an angle so they can find there sweet spot, and they come out to eat and drink and play around a bit, then go back under. so far so good.....

I and fearful about the heat lamp and fires. esp since I'm brooding in my house....

Hello again, so my heat plate has been on for about 16 hours, and my brooder box is set up in my enclosed, unheated garage, where its 41 degrees right now. I used a infrared thermometer and took the temp underneath the plate and its only 65 degrees. Ive read where these plates were used to brood...

Thanks, Im using this in my garage, which here in the NY/NJ/CT area at this time of year is around 40-50 degrees inside the garage.

Hello all, very new here and hoping to get some advice. I have a 12x12 Premier 1 heat plate for my new chicks coming soon, and everything i read about them say they are excellent heat sources for new chicks. Maybe Im not fully understanding them, but mine doesn't seem that warm. I read about how...
