Hi there!
Question we just bought 6 new baby chicks and I was wondering if anybody has experience with brooder/heater. Here are the questions I was wondering if anybody could help with. What I was wondering is do baby chicks really need the light caused from a heat lamp, or is just using the brooder safe? The baby chicks are in my basement and get light until it gets dark outside for night time. The brooder I have says it reaches 40w temp but the heater part reaches 200w. What would be better to have on temperature wise for the baby chicks? I just want to make sure my babies are getting enough warmth and taken care of.
Thank you!
