This is my new brooder. I have a space heater for my chicks to be warm. My first 2 chicks were very scared of me when I tried to get close to them now I am trying to take a different route with my 4 new chicks. As you can see there's a big difference in the brooders.

Also I had to buy a wooden rabbit hutch for them and now my 2 girls give me lots of love and talks. The grown girls are RIR'S and their names are Darlin and Little One. My 4 new chicks are Easter Egger, Black Sex Links and a White Leghorn. The WL is Penny, the BSL is Peppa, the light colored EE is Cinnamon and the darker EE is Bernadebt.
 
Hi all! I've had my first batch of chicks ever for about 3 weeks now (TSC estimated they were about a week old when I got them). And I've been learning a lot, especially just about the brooder set up. And mine has changed a few times already. Now I'm brooding in their coop at 4 weeks old. Our temps get down to the 30s with days ranging anywhere from the 50s-70s.
