    New and have questions please

    We are in a similar situation ourselves. Our chicks are a little over a month old. We raised them outside in the coop since they were a day old. Our hen house is 10' X 12'.

    Brooder bedding?

    We use a combination of pine underneath the straw. The straw catches the bulk of mess and easier to clean out than the shavings. Plus I use the straw and shavings in my compost bins. I am raising or chicks in the coop. I sectioned off a corner for them but yesterday had to open it up to give...

    Brooder bedding?

    CountryGal517 I personally would just use the pine shavings. I have zero experience with puppy pads, so hopefully someone else will jump in and give there opinion. I'm sure people have used them with great results but I would think they may Peck it if it's on top and then possibly harm the chick...

    Draft is basically keeping the wind off of them. You want then to be able to get in an area where when the child wind is blowing it isn't blowing directly on them. If you have a bad draft it is like you standing outside with the wind blowing on you. The chill from the wind is supposed to be hard...

    Thank you azelgin. They have plenty of room to get out of the heat, so them being able to regulate themselves isn't a problem. Tonight we hand fed them some treats and they were very lively and running around having a blast. Thank you for the response. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
