    Heat source

    Is a brooder plate enough to use on an outdoor brooder? Example, the temperatures are getting between 40-53 at the coldest. Will a brooder plate be enough for chicks to be outside?

    Is it normal behavior for my hen?

    So today I saw my hen laying an egg, another hen followed and layed another. I went in and collected the eggs. My hen then went back in the nesting box, and hasn’t came out. Is this “normal”?
