    ?s for new chicks & ecoglow 20

    Thank you for your reply. I moved them into the garage and set up a extra large wire dog crate as a brooder for them with the ecoglow 20. They are running around now and not all huddled under it. They go under for a few minutes and then out to eat and drink. I just turned off the light in...

    ?s for new chicks & ecoglow 20

    New chicks born Monday a.m. in outside brooder in coop, no drafts with a ecoglow 20. It will get down to 45 tonight. Will they be warm enough? or do I move the brooder into the garage/house. The coop is split and 3 older girls (6weeks) are in other half. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks...

    Starting a Farm -- Looking for Good Wisdom! Please?!?

    Went to college for accounting. Definitely learn some and keep receipts and paperwork organized. Do as much of your own books as you can. Will save big $$s. Still may need professional for tax stuff since that constantly changes, Just make sure whoever you use is familiar with farm...

    chicks won't leave coop

    My girls just went outside from the coop today. I had to encourage them out the pop door because it was really scary from their point of view I guess. They would come to the door kind of poke their head out and then go back in and stand there and cheep. I think it just takes them some time to...

    Can we put new born chicks in with month old chicks

    Thinking of trying this. I have 3 3week old now and am getting 6 chicks mid October. I thought of keeping the new chicks in a wire dog crate in the coop with the other three. Will this work ok? The new ones will have a ecoglow 20 to keep them warm and the crate is big enough to allow them to...

    Chicks arrived from Murray McMurray today. 2 days old!

    I have chicks coming Oct 15th. I didn't want chicks shipped this summer with the heat. I currently have 3 2week olds (1RIR & @ Golden Buffs) that live outside in a coop/brooder. They are feathering out quickly. They have a ecoglow 20 that they do not seem to like much. I have only caught...

    Flinging the bedding in the water

    I put the water on a brick to raise it. It does not keep all the aspen bedding out but much more than when it was on the floor. I still check it a couple times a day though to take out the bedding that they kick into it.
