    Question about chick starter feed.

    I did the same thing, my chicks are now 8 weeks old and all are doing fine. After I was getting low on feed I did switch to the 20% bag. But no problems as health wise with the 12 I started on a higher protein.

    when to get chicks out of the brooder????

    I meant to ask are you putting them into a extisting flock if so wait till they are about same size? If putting them into a coop by themselves,no problem.Hope this helps.

    What to do?

    I currently have 5 -1 week old chicks, I was offered 2- 4 month old hens RIR/EE. I was wondering if I should take this offer or past? I just didn't want to endanger the baby chicks. They are in a brooder and I planned on keeping them in there until at least 5 weeks old. If I do get the 4 month...

    Red vs Clear bulb

    I dont think there is a advantage one way or another. Chicks seems like they pick at each other with the red bulb. Personaly I perfer the red bulb instead ,but has used both.As long you used the correct watts and have correct temp for baby chicks really dont matter. Hope this helps you out.
