I am interested in the various ways one might brood chicks. In the past I've provided a heat lamp on one end of the brooder and raised it a bit every few days to decrease the temperature underneath it, watching them to ensure I haven't made it so cool that they want to pile up. Am I coddling them too much and discouraging faster feathering, or is the speed of feathering completely driven by genetics?
Bob, your dry incubation is due to higher ambient humidity than those of us in more arid climates, correct?
Thanks all
