Brooding Chicks In February?

I ordered a Premier heat plate brooder (actually $20 cheaper straight from Premier rather than Amazon) and am going to see what temp I can maintain--I'll let y'all know!
Kewl, lucky you!

Remember that....chick heat plates work by the chicks backs contacting (or being very close to) the plate surface,
rather than heating the air and ground in an area like a heat lamp does.

Hey I figured I'd respond back to you on the thread with more action lol. I'll be brooding along with you, built my new brooder today. Gonna grab a thermometer tomorrow and see what kind of temps I'm maintaining. Our overnight lows are low to mid 30s right now, we're starting our warming trend up already it seems, kind of a weird winter, very wet and warmer than the usual this time of year. Anyway, I'll check back soon!
