Post pics of bin and light?I used pine shaving as bedding.
My brooder tank is a plastic storage bin.
I used Dumor organic chick starter grower.
I had a warming light 32 inches from the chicks.
The temp by the chicks was around 78 degrees.

No, that discussion was about recycled coffee ground bedding
That thread is about coffee ground bedding, not pine shavings. Like many others here I have brooded lots of chicks with pine shavings and never had a mass mortality. I have lost a couple chicks from brooding in a plastic tote without adequate ventilation-at least that is the only thing I could come up with for the sudden death and drilling holes in the bin has worked so well I have brooded three batches of chicks in it just fine.
