    BROODER thread! Post pics of your brooders!

    . I'd say as long as the sawdust isn't cedar they will be fine. The flying and running is probably there way of injoying a new larger brooder and a great way of exercise.

    Babies arrived

    Mo2872, I have to say, I would sure like to meet you. Your joy from the chicks and the shear passion you have already put forth towards them is encouraging for all. Be careful tho, there are addicting.

    do u ever turn off ur brooder heat lamp?

    Since everyone seems to be having much better temps then we ( -5 to -20 ) I'm also considering turning the heat lamp off. The chicks are a week old but there also in our home, staying a consistent 72 degrees. Is this much to cool for them and would they still need a source of heat.

    The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

    I can only assume this isn't a heritage RiR. It's my father in laws rooster that was actually brooded by a mallard last summer. If I can recall correctly the hen was either a red sex link or production red ?
