    Sexing by saddle feathers

    Brooder heat source?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good heat lamp with temperature control? It looked like I am going to have to build a brooder that will comfortably hold 15 to 18 chicks. Nothing on Amazon that is big enough gets decent reviews and for the price, I’m thinking I could build my own. What...
