SO I have upgraded my brooder from this
to this
The 3 BRs and the 1 EE are just over a week old BUT I added 3 BOs today that are 2 days old! So far after a little pecking everyone seems to be getting along (although one BO chick is pecking some of the older birds...) I am assuming the larger space is good but how can I tell if the younger BOs are warm enough? I have caught them sleeping under the lights but not together or huddled up, does that mean they're cold or just like the heat?
