    Baby chicks- do they need light at night

    So I dimmed the lights last night, helped them all find their way to the brooder plate. 5 of them snuggled in under there, two decided they were more comfortable on top.

    Baby chicks- do they need light at night

    Thank you! It seems like the answer to most questions is to just keep them fed and love them and then leave them alone. Amazing how much they just figure out on their own.

    Countdown to Baby Chicks 2023 edition

Some other hatcheries do not make as big of a deal out of it, but I definitely want to shoot for 100% survival rate. Ill have to sleep in the basement with the chicks to feel comfortable with the heat...
