Hi Everyone,
Just a quick and maybe silly question. My BC Marans chicks are 1 week. They have wing feathers and they are running about in their brooder and trying to fly. (so cute)
Are they just exercising? Also, I know heat is very important to their health and development. Should I put them in another bigger brooder box? They are in one now that is 3 and a half feet long and about a foot high and 2 feet wide. There are only 4. I am expecting a lot more to hatch on Sunday though.
That will mean putting the brooder temp back to a warmer climate. There is a spot for them to get away from the heat but I think I will have to have 2 brooder boxes. Any advice? Are my chicks going to be flyers? Or are they just exercising? Thanks in advance.
