I will be getting 4 buff orpingtons chicks shipped to me mid May. I'm in ND and the average high is around 70, lows around 45. I plan on keeping them in the garage (unheated, small) in a kids play pen or dog crate, not sure yet. Is a brooder plate sufficient? I really don't want to use a heat lamp, they scare the crap out of me (fire hazard).
