A bunch of the extra solar power here is currently being used by the incubator and egg turner. Still, somebody just could not help themselves and brought home 20 broiler chicks! Nevermind not being able to run a brood lamp.
This is day two of them being inside by the wood stove, they seem to have acclimated to the fluctuating temps pretty well. I see feathers coming in a bit early, this is good. They do huddle to stay warm at times but I have not lost any yet. I put a gallon jug of hot water in their box to keep them warm at night.
They seem like the happy healthy little eating pooping machines they were bred to be!
