Brooder for 20 chicks? Now it has turned to 30!

Thanks so for 30 chicks I could get 2 long feeders and 3 waterers and 2 150 lights! Would that be good?

It's a good start until they outgrow that (eating and drinking anyway)... I don't know about the lights, not my expertise there. I run 250, but mine are in an uncovered brooder on an insulated porch in Wyoming with no other heat on the porch. Just put thermometers under each to make sure the temp is where you want them.

I have been finding mine are choosing to use my lower one at night and my higher one in the day. I am only running one thermometer right now, and that is on my higher one. This morning it said 97 (way high for some of my older chicks) but all but 4 were under the one that should be hotter than that as it is one link lower.
