It's wonderful how peaceful they are, isn't it!

When you have a few days into this, you'll be peaceful too!

I love how it feels more natural! And I am sure I will adjust too LOL
One selfish disadvantage-I can't see and watch chick tv as easily >sigh<

Just give them a day or two. Once they find their legs, they will be zooming all over the brooder.

Once my "kiddos" were brooding in the pen in the barn, I have sometimes literally layed down on the floor in an angle that I can see them under there and talk w/them if they haven't already come out.

When I've had them in a box w/sides I've tipped up the heater on occasion to peek and be sure they aren't piling on top of each other. [Be sure they can get in/out from all sides - or at least front and back - of the heater so they don't get stuck in there!]
