Quote: Be careful with that, I just lost 2 d'Uccle chicks that were at least 9 weeks old in an un-insulated garage in a room in the back of it surrounded with plastic and a heater running in the middle, a small dog crate for them to go in, an two heat lamps in different spots, oh did I also mention there were other birds in there to create heat, DEAD, no reason, no signs of illness, just couldn't keep the heat above 38 degrees so the heater said. I think this up and down temps is the demise of chicks, ReesePoultry told me today, she was losing chicks also.
