    Exposing chicks to outside germs??

    Hi all! I’ve got 2.5 week old babies who are in my basement. I can’t move them outside for a bit because well, winter in Wisconsin. But should I be putting outside dirt/grass in their brooder for them to get exposed to outside germs? If I do, what should I prepare for in terms of diseases...
