If you use the 'Search forums' tool and look up mama heating pad, you'll find numerous posts on how other members have brooded chicks in the coop. That might be an option that works for you.

Best wishes!

Hi, there! Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

Sorry about your losses, if the temps are not super cold, then 4-5 weeks old depending on if they have all their feathers in. If they still have some down left then wait till it is gone first. Thanks for joining our little community. Maybe when you get a chance, you can snap some pics of your new baby chicks, we just love baby pictures.....

Hello and welcome to activity on BYC!
What is your heat source? If your coop and run are already built and predator proof, I'd raise them in the coop.

It’s an open air coop and very secure. Heat source is one of those yellow heat plates they can get under - sorry I can’t think of the brand.
