First time for everything I suppose. I've had lots of snakes in the layer house before and eathen eggs but have never had any bother chicks before. I have my meat babies right on the front screen porch. I'd checked on temp not 10 minutes before and then I started to hear chicks peeping while I...

Since the brooder is...

Definitely not new to chickens. Personally, I've kept a flock for 15 years and my mother and grandfather before me.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I recently butched my old spent hens, currently have 16 in the...
