I was a member but I lost my flock 5 years ago and life was hectic. So, my new chick's will be here next week! I'm back and so excited. I live in Mississippi. It's about 90 degrees F during the day an 65 F at night. I have never brooded chickens outside but I'm desperately hoping it will work this time. I have a huge galvanize tub on my covered back deck (shaded). I plan on using one of those warmer plates in the evening so they can huddle under it for warmth. Should I use it during the day too just in case? Maybe set the plate in the highest setting? I'll cover it in hardware cloth so they can't escape.
