In the Brooder
Help please!
This is my first batch of chicks. I started yesterday, with two one week old chicks.
My brooder was in the garage last night and the temperatures were fine when I went to sleep.
I went to check on them at 5:30am and the temperature in the brooder had dropped to 65. I was unaware of how cold the garage got at night.
The chicks are inside now, and the temperature has stabilized.
I am unsure of normal chick behavior, because these are my first chicks.
Could the dramatic changes in temperature be causing them to feel overheated in the ideal temperature environment now?
Will they be harmed from that one cold night?
Thanks!
