    Brooding outside

    I had them in the garage and it was fine but their brooder is too small now! So the ducks and chicks will be moved to the outside coop! no bigger chickens there so I dont think we will have problems

    Tractor supply chicks!

    We bought 6 red pullets from TSC Sadly one passed away but the others are doing fine. What is your experience with Buying from TSC When you bought just Pullets did you get just pullets? Because I believe I may have gotten a rooster.. I have absolutely no idea why I think this particular chick is...

    New chicks How long do I keep them in the brooder.

    Quote: I would Put Pine shavings in the bottom for the chicks to Scratch in and keep their balance the bathtub might be sorta slippery as well as keep the chicks warm
